The NFL preseason for the 2024-25 edition has already started, and we are eager to see what the teams will bring to the table while they analyze their roster.
As such, it is interesting to see the clash between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Kansas City Chiefs this Saturday. Both teams were opposites last season. While the Jags started on a roll, their form fell off a cliff later, costing them their postseason qualification. On their side, the Chiefs started with many doubts but got back on track in time to lift the Vincent Lombardi Trophy.
Jacksonville ended the season in the second spot in the AFC South, but that was not enough to reach the playoffs. On the other hand, the Kansas City Chiefs finished at the top of the AFC West last season and went from the Wild Card to being Super Bowl Champions.

This game will be close, but the Jacksonville Jaguars will be the one to leave with the win. The lineups for both are still unknown, but expect the Jags to play a stronger lineup as they need a boost in morale, even if it is just for the preseason.
