The Jacksonville Jaguars’ quarterback situation is in dire straits if Vegas is to be believed. According to Betting Dime, Bortles has 1/1 odds of getting benched.
Among prop bets by @BettingDime: Jaguars QB Blake Bortles has 1/1 odds of getting benched in opener at Texans. Fournette 5/2 to get 100 rush

In short, Betting Dime believes there is a 50% chance of Bortles getting benched on Sunday. If odds are 1/1, and then you bet $100 on it, and then Bortles is benched, you’d be given $200 in return for a $100 profit.
A more encouraging betting line is that Leonard Fournette is being given 5/2 odds to rush for 100 yards or more. In essence, if you bet $100 on Fournette running for over 100 yards and he does it, you’d be returned $350 for a profit of $250. Those aren’t crazy high odds and might be a good bet, even with the Jaguars not knowing who their left guard is.
