Chiefs MNF computer picks

Patrick Mahomes Over 21.5 rushing yards (-110)

Projection: 29.24 yards

Mahomes easily topped this number against two tough defenses, then didn't run much against two weak defenses. The Jags are closer to the tougher side, so our projections expect Mahomes to run again tonight.

Alternate-total bet
30+ yards (+165) - Shows a solid level of value.

Isiah Pacheco Over 6.5 receiving yards (-110)

Projection: 11.35 yards

Pacheco has topped this number twice this season, and we expect him to make it a third time tonight.

Xavier Worthy Over 51.5 receiving yards (-110)

Projection: 58.32 yards

Worthy was the clear WR1 in his first full game of the season last week, and we're forecasting him to have another productive outing tonight.

Travis Kelce u43.5 receiving yards (-110)

Projection: 34.71 yards

Our projections expect the star TE to be quiet tonight, projecting him to fall well below his posted total.

Jaguars MNF computer picks

Trevor Lawrence Over 216.5 passing yards (-110)

Projection: 236.67 yards

Lawrence is 2-2 against this number so far, but our projections like him to go Over tonight.

Alternate-total bet
225+ yards (+110) - This price shows a ton of value.

Travis Etienne Under 64.5 rushing yards (-110)

Projection: 57.26 yards

Etienne's only time not topping this number was against Houston's elite run defense. KC isn't quite as good, but our projections still expect him to have a quiet evening.

Brian Thomas Jr. Over 57.5 receiving yards (-110)

Projection: 64.43 yards

We're expecting the Jags to be busier in the pass game tonight, which means their star WR goes Over this number for the first time all season.

Brenton Strange Over 34.5 receiving yards (-110)

Projection: 39.1 yards

Our projections also forecast another solid game for Jacksonville's TE, who has posted 45+ yards in three of four games so far.

Alternate-total bet
40+ yards (+130) - Shows a little bit of value, but not a ton.
