The Week 5 finale on Monday Night Football is a bit of a break from the norm when the Kansas City Chiefs head to Florida to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars enter this matchup on a roll to start the season, at 3-1, with a two-game winning streak intact. For the Kansas City Chiefs, this season started with them losing the first two games of the year before bouncing back to start their own two-game winning streak the past couple of weeks. The Chiefs need a win to get above .500 for the first time this season, while the Jags could use this win to make believers out of the doubters who question their start despite the record.
Kansas City started the season by dropping back-to-back games to the Chargers and Eagles. Some were quick to predict the Chiefs' total downfall before they bounced back the past two weeks with wins over the Giants and Ravens. After a dominating victory over Baltimore last week, 37-20, KC seems to be back on track after a huge game for Patrick Mahomes. He completed 25 of 37 passes for 270 yards and four touchdowns. The offense was certainly in sync with the return of Xavier Worthy, adding a much-needed spark. Now they've got to keep that pace going against a tough Jacksonville defense that is only allowing 18 points per game, which ranks fifth in the league, while leading the NFL in turnovers forced.

Jacksonville may be the most unlikely 3-1 team this season, especially with a first-year head coach leading the way. But Liam Coen has proven to be a coach who's ready for the spotlight and has this Jaguars team looking like one of the best in the AFC thus far. The defense is stingy, and on the offensive side of the ball, running back Travis Etienne is off to a great start.
Last week against San Francisco, Etienne rushed for 124 yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile, quarterback Trevor Lawrence managed the game, passing for 174 yards and a touchdown, while completing 67.7% of his passes. Jacksonville will need to continue this winning formula to beat the Chiefs and stretch the winning streak to three games.

Tue, October 7, 2025 at 1:00 AM GMT+2Kate MagdziukChiefs-Jaguars betting preview for MNF
The Kansas City Chiefs are 3.5-point favorites over the home-town Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 5 on BetMGM Sportsbook, and Yahoo Sports' Matt Russell is taking the Jaguars to cover. He writes:
Compiling all elements of a team's play via qualitative analysis, PFF has the Jaguars rated ninth in the NFL (to the Chiefs' 12th). From an expected points added per play (EPA/play) perspective, if we filter out garbage time (plays where one team has a win probability of 80% or more) and the high-leverage result of plays with a turnover, the Jaguars EPA/play is on a tier with top-seven teams like the Bills, 49ers, Chargers, Broncos and Seahawks.
Those same metrics have the Chiefs down in the middle part of the league with the Raiders, Commanders and Giants.
Again, the optimism for the Chiefs is based on what we can expect to see from Mahomes and Co. going forward — not their stats in the rear view — but the Jaguars not only have room to move up in the betting market, they have the metrics to suggest they will. As a result, getting a field goal and the hook with the home team is a bet worth making.

The Chiefs enter the game at 2-2, having won two games in a row after dropping their first two to start the season. Jacksonville is 3-1 and undefeated at home this season, looking to keep pace with the 4-1 Indianapolis Colts in the AFC South.
