The Jaguars have won seven straight games.
The Chiefs beat the Jaguars earlier in the season by 10 points but that was before the Jaguars’ run.
This will be a close, high-scoring game.
The Eagles swept the Giants in the regular season, beating them 48-22 on the road and 22-16 at home in Week 18.
They are rested and have Jalen Hurts starting.
The Giants have only lost by more than 8 points three times this past season.

The Bengals have won eight straight so I think they cover.
