The Jacksonville Jaguars are currently 8.0 point underdogs against the Indianapolis Colts, a line that has inched a little towards Jacksonville as the line opened at as many as 9.5 points.
That’s according to Bovada, who has the over/under set at 45 points.
In short, Vegas thinks the Jaguars lose somewhere in the ballpark of 27-17 to 27-20 this weekend.
Traditionally, the home team in NFL games are given a free three points and then the line goes from there, so this is saying that the Jaguars would lose by... well... a lot in Indianapolis which is fair.
Why? Because our defense is on the decline and the only position group that has improved relies on a question mark at quarterback in Gardner Minshew. I’m staying away from the line though because things could always get wacky in Week 1 but that over/under looks enticing. I’ll take the over.
