Patrick Mahomes Projection, Pick for Chiefs vs. Jaguars on Monday Night Football
Below are some key Patrick Mahomes player projections to consider for Week 5. There are plenty of intriguing Chiefs vs. Jaguars picks to choose from on PrizePicks.
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes Projection: 274.5 Pass+Rush Yards
- After a quiet start to the season, Mahomes exploded for a big Week 4. Facing the Ravens and their shaky D, he set season highs in completions (25), passing yards (270), TDs (4), and passer rating (124.8) while taking just a single sack.
- In four career games facing the Jags — all wins — the two-time MVP averages 331.8 passing yards and 21 rushing yards.
- Mahomes, notoriously a problem-solver against zone coverage, might find success given the Jaguars’ heavy mix of Cover 3 (30%) and Cover 6 (24%).
- While Jacksonville’s pass defense looks tremendous (third in EPA/play), it hasn’t been tested by a high-level signal caller like Mahomes. Additionally, coordinator Anthony Campanile’s group has the highest pass rate faced at 70.2% and struggles on late downs (24th).
- The Jaguars have allowed the fourth-fewest QB rushing attempts at 12, yet they’re 19th in yards at 76.
