Week 17 had some big playoff implementations, and this Saturday will be no different. We see if the Chiefs can clinch the #1 seed in the playoffs in Vegas against the Raiders, while we will see who will be the AFC South champion when the Jaguars take on the Titans in Duvall. So now, let me share my analysis and game picks for the Saturday doubleheader.
Chiefs (13-3) @Raiders (6-10) -8.5 KC 4:30 PM ET
Chiefs:
The Kansas City Chiefs look to secure the number one seed in the AFC playoffs, with a victory over the Las Vegas Raiders due to the Bills-Bengals game being called off. If two of those three teams (the Chiefs, Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals) end up meeting in the AFC Championship game, it will be played at an indoor neutral stadium. Patrick Mahomes looks to be the front runner for the MVP, and I think he will go for over 300 total yards in this game and at least three touchdowns as well. I will see if he can get that done, and the Chiefs can advance to the number one seed.
Raiders:
The Las Vegas raiders come in off of a good performance under new quarterback Jarrett Stidham. Did him through for over 330 yards against the number one defense in the NFL. They also took what could be the hardest team to all the time, but it was a Stidham interception that led to the loss. I think that if he can do similar against a Chiefs defense that isn't as good as the 49ers are, they might have a shot to win. We will see if they can upset the Chiefs, make a heavy dent in the Chiefs number one seed hopes, and have some pride going into next season.
Game Pick:
KC 40 LV 37
Titans (7-9) @Jaguars (8-8) -6.5 JAX SAT 8:15 PM ET
Titans:
The Tennessee Titans come into this big matchup with six losses in a row, including a 36-22 lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars that they face this week. Josh Dobbs he's coming off of his first career NFL start, where he was able to get a touchdown through the air, but also threw an interception in the 27-13 loss to the Cowboys last week. Titans running back, Derrick Henry, ran for 121 total yards in the game against the Jaguars, but only 2 of those came in the second half. If he can duplicate that performance that he had in the first half, I think the Titans have a good shot to win.
Jaguars:
The Jacksonville jaguars coming to visit or take all match up after a 2-6 start to the season. After a 40-14 loss to the Detroit Lions, The Jaguars have went on a four-game winning streak to put themselves in this position. Even if they lose, they can get the 7 seed if the New England Patriots, Miami Dolphins, and the Pittsburgh Steelers all lose their respective matchups. That wouldn't matter if the Jaguars can make a quick one year turnaround and will be able to host a playoff game against you doing the Chargers or the Ravens.
Game Pick:
TEN 20 JAX 27
