NFL predictions: Chiefs, Mahomes present formidable challenge for struggling Jets

The New York Jets are on the road in Kansas City, Missouri to take on the Kansas City Chiefs in the Jets’ ninth game of the 2026 season this Sunday. The Jets will be looking to get back to winning ways after dropping six of their last seven games.

These two teams last met in a 23 – 20 victory by the Chiefs in 2023. The Chiefs have won four of the last five games between these two teams. Before that the Jets had won five of seven. The Chiefs lead the overall series 21 – 19 – 1.

The Chiefs opened the 2026 season with a bang, reeling off five straight victories, mostly against weaker opponents. They opened with a convincing win over the Denver Broncos before straddling wins against NFL doormats like the Indianapolis Colts, Miami Dolphins and Los Angeles Chargers, along with their division rival Las Vegas Raiders. The schedule got tougher and the Chiefs wilted, losing to the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos in the last two weeks, bringing the Chiefs record to 5-2 on the season. The Chiefs are riding a two-game losing streak, while the Jets have lost three in a row going into this game.

Let’s make some predictions for Sunday’s game.
