Kate Constable: Jaguars-Chiefs Over 51

The Jaguars come into this divisional-round playoff game with a ton of momentum after a huge, comeback win over the Chargers in the wild-card game. Trevor Lawrence threw for 288 yards and four touchdowns despite also throwing four interceptions. Without those early turnovers, we’d likely be looking at a final score well above 31 total points for Jacksonville. The other quarterback in this game is Patrick Mahomes, which should be enough said. Just in case you need a little more convincing, Mahomes leads the league in passing yards and touchdowns. Take the over.

Jaguars-Chiefs Over 42.5

Dan Karpuc: Giants +7.5

The Giants have gone 11-2 ATS as an underdog this season and showed enough on both sides of the ball in their wild-card win over the Vikings in Minnesota for me to be very confident in them to keep this game close. Ultimately, I picked the Eagles to win the Super Bowl, so I expect them to win this game outright at home with Jalen Hurts healthy, but this New York team is well-coached and will come ready to play. It’s very difficult to play a divisional rival three times in one season and I can see this game being decided late in the fourth quarter.

Lucy Burdge: Giants +7.5

After the Giants toppled the Vikings in the wild-card round, I think they can keep that momentum going and at least cover this spread. The Giants have covered in their last five games, while the Eagles have failed to cover in their last four games. New York is also 11-2 ATS as the underdog this season, so I think the Giants can keep this one close and cover against the Eagles.
