Jacksonville Jaguars vs. New Orleans Saints Betting Preview
After winning just one of their first three games, including getting blown out at home by the Texans, the Jaguars went to London to play two games. They came back and were 3-2, and then smacked the Colts for the second time and are now cruising. In the three-game winning streak, the Jaguars are scoring 28 points per game.
Quarterback Trevor Lawrence has seven touchdowns on the season but is questionable for this game. He hurt his knee and left in the game against Indianapolis. The top overall pick in the 2021 draft would be replaced by C.J. Beathard if he could not play.
Travis Etienne has gotten hot for the Jaguars offense. The running back had two quick touchdowns against the Colts and now has five on the ground this season. Etienne has 451 rushing yards on the season as well. Christian Kirk leads the receiving core for the Jaguars with 33 receptions, 384 yards, and two scores.
Ups and Downs
For the Saints, things have been pretty up and down. It’s the first full season for quarterback Derek Carr, and he has had problems getting the ball into the end zone. Carr has just five touchdown passes this season. The Saints have dropped three out of their last four after beating the Titans and Panthers to start the season.
Alvin Kamara has been back for the last three games. The running back has 199 rushing yards and a touchdown but has also been a threat in the pass game. His NFL MVP odds are looking good. Rashid Shaheed caught a touchdown in the loss to Houston.
New Orleans has been one of the best defensive teams in the league, according to NFL Team Stats. The Saints are allowing teams to score just 16 points per game. New Orleans will play at the Colts next Sunday and then host the Chicago Bears to start November.
Jacksonville Jaguars vs. New Orleans Saints Betting Prediction
The status of Trevor Lawrence is huge news for this game. We expect him to not play, for a short week. Barring any late changes to the NFL injury report, the Saints get the job done, taking advantage of a backup quarterback and their strong defense.
- In an ugly game that stays Under, take the Saints -1 on Thursday Night Football.
