NFL WEEK 1 FREE PICK: Take the under. According to latest NFL trends, the under is 3-0-1 in the Chiefs’ last four road games, 19-7-1 in their last 27 games overall, and 19-6-1 in their last 26 games versus AFC opponents. The under is also 4-0 in the Jaguars’ last four home games, 7-1 in their last eight games in September, and 15-5-1 in their last 21 games versus AFC opponents. On one side Jacksonville’s offense is brutal because of the quarterback situation and on the other side, this will be Kansas City’s first game under head coach Andy Reid. The Jaguars should struggle offensively because of Blaine Gabbert, while it may take a full game or two before Alex Smith is used to running Reid’s plays. Either way, the Chiefs’ defense is underrated and the Jaguars’ D isn’t a pushover so take the under.
