Kansas City Chiefs at Jacksonville Jaguars

Venue: TIAA Bank Field, Jacksonville, Florida

Prediction: You won’t find many outlets where the Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to beat the Kansas City Chiefs. That’s for a very good reason. Kansas City is one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl, and those expectations will go through the roof on Sunday after a convincing win versus the Jags.

‘Sacksonville’ will show their defense is back, but the Chiefs are the better team, and they’ll win by two touchdowns as the Jags’ D gets fatigued and the Chiefs widen the margin in the fourth quarter.

Final score: Kansas City: 31 Jacksonville: 17

Tennessee Titans at Cleveland Browns (Upset Alert)

Venue: FirstEnergy Stadium, Cleveland, Ohio

Prediction: The Cleveland Browns are one of the most hyped teams in the NFL heading into the 2019 regular season and for good reason. They’re dealing with something unusual, expectations.

Here’s where this one’s headed. The Browns, with all of those expectations, walk into their first regular-season game, and all of the pressure get the best of them. They’ll wind up on the wrong side of the win-loss score against a battle-tested Tennessee Titans team who will be looking for a season-opening win of their own.

The Browns will be the subject of much conversation on Monday but not for the reasons that they originally thought.

Final score: Titans 26, Browns 24
