One thing I notice about Bortles. He tends to play bigger in big games. Bortles May be a punchline but he's serviceable for that team. 

Let's hope.  He certainly played well against the Pats.

Should I start Mahomes?

Zerovolts says 90% chance of steady rain. Steady rain and the jags d are not a good recipe for success. I might wait till just before kickoff to put him in. Also depends on your other qb matchup.

REPORTERS' NOTEBOOK

Telvin Smith was all smiles this week when asked about facing the AFC's only undefeated team. James Palmer reports from Jacksonville on the defense's thoughts on playing Patrick Mahomes.
 
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jaguars linebacker Telvin Smith, a defensive captain, walked to the podium for his weekly Wednesday press conference with the kind of grin on his face you only see from a man who might know something that you don't.
 
"Why are you smiling so much?" a reporter asked, as Smith continued laughing and smiling several minutes into his press conference.
 
"Listen. Listen. Ask me that after the game," Smith said, laughing throughout his response. "Ask me, 'Why were you smiling? What was so funny?' "
 
You could tell by the way Smith talked about Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes that the defense in Jacksonville is well aware of the hype. Mahomes was named AFC Offensive Player for the month of September -- his first month as a starter in the NFL.

Jaguars believe they can match Chiefs' speed

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Tyreek Hill is fast. Like superfast. Potentially historically fast.
 
The Kansas City Chiefs receiver ran a 4.19-second 40-yard dash at his pro day, which would eclipse the fastest 40 in NFL combine history (Bengals receiver John Ross ran 4.22 in 2017). He also was timed at 4.25 seconds at a Nike SPARQ Camp.
 
That speed -- as well as that of receiver Sammy Watkins and running back Kareem Hunt -- is one of the first topics that comes up when discussing the Chiefs’ offense.
 
Jacksonville Jaguars defensive players say they’re ready for it on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium. They also believe they can match it.
 
“They’re a fast group, but we’re a fast group,” linebacker Telvin Smith said. “Like we said, this is going to be the best against the best. Make your move. We’re going to make our move.
 
“Come out and be ready to play.”

What are The MMQB Staff's favorite NFL Week 5 bets?

 

Jacksonville Jaguars (+3) at Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs are a red-hot 4-0, but they're also coming off a short week, on the road, after their comeback win in Denver on Monday Night Football. That's a tough turnaround in anticipation of facing the stingiest defense in the league, allowing just 14 points and 259.2 yards per game to opponents. The Chiefs offense is loaded with playmakers, but Jacksonville is the one team with the ability to match up. The Jaguars have a physical front, speedy defenders on the back end and are excellent at diagnosing a team's tendencies, as we saw in Week 2 against the Patriots. — Jenny Vrentas

......These numbers are HEAVILY skewed by the 49ers game where Mahomes went right 14 times and left only once.  He's been balanced in the other games.  Good luck with thinking his tendancy is going right.....he goes where the best chance to complete the pass is.
