Jaguars at Seahawks odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Seahawks 20, Jaguars 17
Money line
The Jaguars have not won on the road since Week 15 of the 2019 season; their neutral-site win in London was technically a home game.
The Seahawks are in last place in the NFC West. They are winless at home this season and have lost five of six, although three of those losses were by only 3 points each.
They have been too good for too long to think they would go 0-4 at home to start a season, but it’s hard when they are without Wilson. The defense has stepped up in Wilson’s absence and that should be enough against the Jaguars.
Take the SEAHAWKS (-200).
Against the spread
The Jaguars are 2-4 ATS this season, and the Seahawks are 4-3 ATS. Four of Jacksonville’s five losses have been by double digits.
The Seahawks are struggling offensively. However, the Jaguars’ aren’t good defensively and have allowed more than 30 points three times.
I’m not willing to put money on the line to say the Jags will win, but right now I also am not willing to bet on Smith. The Seahawks win this game, but it will be a close one.
Take the JAGUARS +3.5 (-108).
Over/Under
Only one game for the Seahawks this season has hit the Over. The Jaguars are 2-4 O/U.
Seattle’s defense held the Saints to 13 points last week and they will limit the Jaguars.
It will be a surprise if the total even reaches the 40s.
Take UNDER 44.5 (-115).
