The Jacksonville Jaguars fans breathed a heavy sigh of relief for a week as they were able to witness a huge victory after a somewhat concerning offseason. They pulled off one of the more improbable wins of the week as they defeated their AFC South rivals in the Indianapolis Colts by a score of 27-20. The win was improbable in the sense that the Jaguars were the NFL’s biggest underdog on the week as they were a 7.5-point home underdog against Indy.
Despite the big win at home, though, the Jaguars will face an even larger spread Week 2 as they are an 8.0-point underdog against the Tennessee Titans. If fact, it probably will mark the largest spread the Jags will face in the first quarter of the season.
The Titans are coming off a nail-biting win against the Denver Broncos where they defeated them 16-14. They lead the all-time series between both teams with a record of 30-21. Tennessee’s last win came in an absolute drubbing of the Jags by the score of 42-20. They are also 4-1 in their last five contests with the Jaguars.
The Jaguars are also a +320 underdog on the money line meaning that a $100 bet on the Jaguars would net $320, plus the original bet. With their win against the Colts, the Jags are not only 1-0 in the record books, but also 1-0 against the spread so far.
