NFL Betting Preview: Kansas City Chiefs vs. New York Jets

October 1, 2023



Arguably the best team in the AFC will face the worst team in the AFC when the Kansas City Chiefs travel to take on the New York Jets on Sunday night in week 4 of the NFL season. Will we have an exciting game? Probably not, as the Jets have been the lowest-scoring team this season in the NFL averaging 14 points per game, and with Zach Wilson at quarterback I don’t see them improving on that. Will the Chiefs win in a rout on the road against the New York Jets or will the Jets somehow keep the game competitive? Let’s take a deeper dive into how these teams are performing this season.

The Kansas City Chiefs enter this game with a record of 3-0 following a 41-10 win at home against the Chicago Bears while covering the 12.5-point favorites at home in week 3 of the NFL season.

Patrick Mahomes led the team in passing, completing 24 of 33 attempts for 272 yards and three touchdowns while adding 28 rushing yards. Isaiah Pacheco led the team in rushing with 15 carries for 62 yards and a touchdown while adding two receptions for 16 yards. Travis Kelce led the team in receiving, catching seven of eight targets for 69 yards and one touchdown.

New York enters this game with a record of 1-2 following a 10-15 loss at home against the New England Patriots while failing to cover the 2.5-point spread as a home underdog in week 3 of the NFL season. The Jets scored 10 points while compiling a total of 171 yards offensively which included 157 passing yards and 38 rushing yards while allowing 15 points and 358 total yards defensively which included 201 passing yards and 157 rushing yards.
