"The Jaguars' opportunistic defense, which leads the NFL with 13 forced turnovers, creates some pause here. But after watching Patrick Mahomes distribute the ball to nine different players in the Week 4 win over the Baltimore Ravens, I'm going with a Chiefs team that is starting to develop an offensive identity. K.C. covers on Monday night in Jacksonville. -- Matt Bowen"
"The Saints haven't scored more than 21 points in a game this season. They can move the ball, sure, but they stall constantly, ranking in the bottom tier on third-down conversions and going 2-for-8 on fourth down. The Giants, meanwhile, looked more like a run-first, clock-control team with Jaxson Dart under center. They ran it 42 times last week and threw for only 89 yards."
Week 5 opens with the Los Angeles Rams hosting the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday Night Football; both teams enter 3-1 after the 49ers' first loss. Sunday includes a 3-1 matchup as the Seattle Seahawks host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Sunday wraps with the Buffalo Bills versus the New England Patriots. Monday Night Football features the Kansas City Chiefs visiting the Jacksonville Jaguars. Early odds list Kansas City at -2.5 to cover in Jacksonville, citing Patrick Mahomes' distribution and a developing offensive identity despite Jacksonville's league-leading 13 forced turnovers. The New York Giants–New Orleans Saints total is projected under 42 given the Saints' limited scoring, poor third- and fourth-down efficiency, the Giants' run-first approach under Jaxson Dart, and both defenses tightening in the red zone.
