Broncos vs. Jaguars picks and predictions
Prediction
Jaguars 20, Broncos 16
Moneyline
JACKSONVILLE (-125) is a strong pick in what should be a low-scoring AFC battle. The Jaguars have the more consistent passing attack with QB Trevor Lawrence, which sounds ludicrous going against QB Russell Wilson. However, the latter has been banged up and he has struggled even when healthy.
Against the spread
The JAGUARS -1.5 (-110) are worth playing in this London game. The Jags made themselves at home in London last season, topping the Miami Dolphins 23-20 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. They’re 4-3 SU in the past 7 trips over the pond and 4-2 ATS in their last 6 outings in the U.K.
The Broncos have been an absolute mess, and they might blow things up if they can’t pick up the win here. Avoid Denver until it shows more consistency on offense.
Over/Under
UNDER 40.5 (-105) is worth a look.
While totals of 40 or below are risky, it has been the rule with the Broncos. The Under is 6-1 for Denver, and in the games where the Under cashed, the Broncos and their opponent combined for just 26.7 points. Denver is great on defense and terrible on offense. It’s a great recipe for Unders.
