The spread for the Jacksonville Jaguars’ game against the Minnesota Vikings saw a shift over the last four days, moving from 8.5 (on Dec. 1) to a current figure of 10.5 in favor of Minnesota, according to BetMGM. The change came as it was revealed that the Jags would be starting veteran Mike Glennon over Gardner Minshew II.

The money line also saw a change for the Jags going from +325 on Tuesday to +375 currently. That means a successful $100 wager on the Jags would net a bettor $375.

The Jags have yet to win a game on the road and will travel to Minnesota with an away record of 0-5. Their history against the Vikings also isn’t all that great as they will enter the game 1-5 against Minnesota and 1-3 against them when in Minneapolis.

However, when looking at the Jags since the bye week, they’ve been really competitive. In fact, three of their last four games have been losses of four or less points, which may be something to keep in mind for those looking into the odds of this game.

Jags currently 8.5-point underdogs to Vikings

The Jags will once again be underdogs as the travel up north to take on the Vikings who are close to acquiring a playoff spot.

The trend for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2020 has been to enter most of their games as underdogs and that hasn’t changed for Week 13. With a trip to Minneapolis coming up Sunday, BetMGM has them down as 8.5-point underdogs against the Minnesota Vikings.

The Jags are currently a +325 underdog on the money line, which means a $100 wager on the Jags would net a bettor $325. Meanwhile, the over/under is set at a figure of 51.5.

When looking at the Jags’ history against the Vikings, it isn’t all that great as they are 1-5 against them. Their last regular season meeting occurred in 2016 in Jacksonville and the Vikings were able to get the win by a score of 25-16. The Vikings also won the meeting before that in 2012 (by a score of 26-23 in overtime), which was the last game played between the two in Minneapolis.

So far, the Vikings haven’t been all that great at U.S. Bank Stadium with a 2-4 home record. However, after a win Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, they have a little bit of momentum and motivation as they are the No. 8 seed in the NFC Playoff hunt.

Jaguars currently 9.5 underdogs to the Steelers

The Jags are once again underdogs as the undefeated Steelers are coming into town.

The Jacksonville Jaguars were underdogs by their largest margin in last week’s game against the Green Bay Packers but will be underdogs by their second-largest margin this week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Per BetMGM, they’re currently 9.5-point underdogs as Ben Roethlisberger and his undefeated crew will travel to TIAA Bank Field Sunday.

When including Sunday’s game, the Jags haven’t had issues covering the spread as of the last few weeks, and it wouldn’t be shocking to see the trend continue though the Steelers do have the firepower to blow them out. Still, this is a rivalry is one that goes way back and both teams have the tendency to keep it relatively close.

The rivalry is one the Jags also own (though just slightly) with a 14-12 record. However, their last meeting against each other resulted in a 20-16 home loss for the Jags. For Jacksonville, that’s been a trend when at TIAA Bank Field as their last home win against the Steelers was in September of 2006 when they claimed a 9-0 victory under Jack Del Rio.

As for the money line, it’s set at -455, which means a $100 bet on the Jags would net a bettor $455. Additionally, the over/under is currently set at 47.5.

Spread, money line, and total for Jags vs. Packers see a change

The Jags and Packers will be dealing with some windy conditions Sunday and that has seemingly resulted in some odd changes for the game.

The spread for the Jacksonville Jaguars’ and Green Bay Packers’ upcoming game has once again changed and is currently at a 14-point margin with Aaron Rodgers and company still down as the favorites. When we previewed the game on Wednesday, the spread was a half point lower as the Jags were 13.5 underdogs.

The money line, which was previously +600 on Wednesday, increased to a +660 figure. That means a bet of $100 on the Jags would net a $660 profit for a bettor.

As for the over/under figure, it decreased to 47.7 points. It was previously set at 51.5.

These changes come as the Jags and Packers are expecting iffy weather conditions at Lambeau Field as the forecast is projecting a cold and windy day in Green Bay. The temperature is projected to be 37° and the wind is projected to hit 25 miles per hour. Green Bay is also expecting showers Sunday morning, but the precipitation percentage will drop to 5% by the time the game begins at 1 p.m. eastern standard time.

Spread slightly shifts for Jags’ Week 9 game vs. Texans

The Jags had a change in the spread for their game against the Texans as Jake Luton looks set to make his first start.

The spread for the Jacksonville Jaguars Week 9 game against the Houston Texans slightly moved as we approach Sunday’s kickoff. Earlier in the week when we looked, it was at 6.5, but it has now moved to a full seven points, per BetMGM.

One of the more interesting things about Sunday’s game is that it appears rookie quarterback Jake Luton will be starting after receiving a majority of the snaps in practice. It would mark his first start since being drafted this April and comes after Gardner Minshew II revealed a thumb injury that he previously kept to himself last week.

Additionally, the money line saw a small change, going from +235 to +245. The over/under also changed, dropping from 51.5 to 50.5, which again, could be because of Luton and the potential struggles he could have putting up points.

Houston will come into Sunday’s game as the leader of the all-time series with a 24-13 record against the Jags. Despite having only one win this season (which came against the Jags), they will also be riding a five game win streak against the Jags which dates back to 2017.

Jaguars are a 6.5-point underdog vs. Texans

The Jags are once again have been deemed underdogs to the Texans, but this time it’s by a higher margin than their October meeting.

After a much-needed bye week for the Jacksonville Jaguars, their position among the sportsbooks remains the same as they’ve found themselves listed as underdogs yet again for Week 9. With their divisional foes in the Houston Texans up next, the crew over at BetMGM have them specifically down as 6.5-point underdogs, which is a full point higher than their Week 5 meeting.

The Texans and the Jaguars both hold similar records at 1-6, however, the Texans hold the advantage as they defeated the Jags by the score of 30-14 last month. Sunday’s game will be at TIAA Bank Field this time around and the Jags will be coming off a bye week (so will Houston), which could help them health-wise.

Houston will come into Sunday’s game with the lead in the all-time series as they have an impressive 24-13 record against the Jags. They will also be riding a five-game win streak against the Cardiac Cats, with the last Jags victory coming Week 1 of the 2017 season.

When searching for the Jags’ last home win against the Texans, fans will have to go back a year further to Dec. 5 of 2013. On that day the Jags were able to be victorious by a touchdown as the final ended up settling at a 27-20 figure.

When looking at the money line, the Jags are a +235 underdog, which means a $100 wager on the Jags would win a bettor $235. As for the over/under, it’s set at 51.5 points for the time being.

Jags currently 7.5-point underdogs to Chargers

The Jags will be underdogs by a large margin as they travel to the west coast Sunday.

The Jacksonville Jaguars will be making their first trip to the west coast this week when they take on the Los Angeles Chargers. Oddsmakers will once again have them down as underdogs but this time it will be by a big 7.5-point margin, according to BetMGM.

The Jags will enter Sunday’s game trying to remove themselves from a five-game losing streak after losing to the Detroit Lions. The Chargers, on the other hand, will be coming off their bye (which could make them more dangerous) after last falling to the New Orleans Saints by a close score of 30-27.

The Jags are currently down as a +300 underdog on the money line, which means a $100 wager on the Jags would outright win $300. The over/under is set at 49.5.

The Jags and the Chargers are two teams who are well aware of each other, meeting 11 times. Sunday will mark their sixth meeting since 2014 and the Chargers will come into Week 7 with an 8-3 record against the Jags.

Of the meetings that have occurred since 2014, the Chargers have dominated the Jags winning four of five. Of course, one of those meetings took place last December in a game the Chargers won by a score of 45-10.
