Rogers' EARLY TOTAL MASSACRE >> HOT START TO OCTOBER!
(NFL) Jacksonville vs. Kansas City,
Total: 49.00 | -110.00 Under
Result: Loss
The set-up: Jacksonville comes in off a 31-12 home win over the Jets last week, while KC enters off a 27-23 road win over Denver. I think these AFC heavyweights "throw down" on Sunday.

The teams: So far Jacksonville is averaging only 22 points, while allowing just 14. That's first in the NFL. However, the Jags' defense is about to face its stiffest test to date. Blake Bortles look great last week and he's going to benefit in facing this porous Chiefs' secondary this afternoon.

KC leads the NFL with an average of 36.2 PPG. The Chiefs need to score a lot of points though, as the defense is allowing 28.8 PPG. So far QB Patrick Mahomes has a 14:0 TD/INT.

The pick: Take it for what you will, but Jacksonville has seen the total go "over" the number in 11 of its last 16 when the line in the contest is set between +3 and -3, while KC has seen the total go "over" in three of its last four off a win against a division rival. This number is low, play the "over."
