My best lean right now is KC -9.5. I have them -3 in a teaser already, but thinking about taking the points straight up. 3 reasons...
- After a Week 1 whiff at home without Kelce, these look like last year's Chiefs again. Healthy team and dominating with Chris Jones back in the middle.
- Chiefs strengths negate Jets best strengths, which is obviously some of their defensive pieces. For example, Sauce Gardner is unquestionably an 'island' shutdown corner, but the Chiefs don't have a true WR1. Mahomes completes the ball to 10 different receivers each game, and most any of those can lead the team in receptions. Not a good matchup strength for Gardner when there's no WR1 who carries the load for the opposing team. Same goes for CB2 Reed... Another example: Mahomes mobility and ability to throw well on the run negates the inside line pressure of Quinnen Williams.
- Not a letdown game candidate. KC Chiefs are very consistent and not prone to 'letdown' games, like, say, the Dallas Cowboys. 2 games non division road trip taking care of business type trip.

Jets not known to be a good TE coverage team... and Wilson is just awful. The team is in a lot of turmoil right now and questions are surfacing for the first time (that I can tell) about Robert Saleh's leadership as HC. Much of it stemming from trying to convince everyone the horsecrap that is Zack Wilson was 'coming along' and they were happy with his progress. Never went out and got a good backup QB when Rodgers went down, although I guess the front office owns a lot of that.
Anyway, a team in deep flux where the defense is playing ridiculous minutes since the season started. I don't see the Jets getting itself together this week. Defense is good, but not great like purported preseason. Won't be able to stop KC from scoring 24+ (being generous), unless you think Wilson matches that.

I Like Magix KC to cover as the Chiefs D. is really playing well since the Chris Jones return in week 2 vs a train wreck QB + a team ready to implode with the cascade of booing about to engulf Wilson + the Jets ears on Sunday night.
KC 30-10
Speaking of D. the Browns D. is the best in the league right now + unless Jackson can make some big plays running or long passes in a scramble situation the Ravens are not going to score more than the Jets will if they rely on set plays.
CLEV 23-13
Eagles are hitting their stride as the around tripled a pretty decent 2-0 Bucs team in total yards on Monday now vs a Wash. team that showed who they are vs a good team vs Buf. last week. The underlay of the week as i would have made this line 12-13.
PHIL 34-16
