Jaguars at Saints odds, lines, picks and predictions
Prediction
Saints 22, Jaguars 16
Money line
The Saints (-200) will cost you two times your potential return if you bet them to win straight up and that’s just too much unnecessary risk for a preseason game.
AVOID, and play the spread instead.
Against the spread
The SAINTS -3.5 (-110) are a much better play laying the points, although I’m never a big fan of three and a hook.
New Orleans looked like a very functional offense against a good Baltimore defense last week in the first half. Winston, QB Taysom Hill and company will look to take another step forward in the post-Drew Brees era. These preseason games matter to the Saints who are looking to build momentum into the regular season.
Over/Under
UNDER 39.5 (-110) is the way to go here as this number is quite high for the preseason. In the first weekend of exhibition games, the Under cashed in 13 of 16 outings.
The Under outpaced the Over 9-5-1 through Saturday’s Week 2 action. Keep slamming the Under until further notice, although this one could be a close shave.
