Who to Bet on Jaguars at Jets
The New York Jets are currently listed as under a field goal favorite at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to the top sportsbooks across the United States.
The Jags are not throwing for many touchdowns as Trevor Lawrence has one touchdown pass in his previous seven games. Jets head coach Robert Saleh is going to miss this game due to self-reporting COVID symptoms, and tight ends coach Ron Middleton will serve as acting head coach.
All in all, go with the New York Jets to win by at least a field goal in this game against a weaker opponent.
