Two teams who both may be improved from last year as its year two of Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars after 3 wins in year one vs. a 7 win team from 2021 who may or may not have upgraded their QB in the Commanders. Wentz saw the Jaguars twice last year going 1-1 with 1 TD and 1 INT, that was with the Colts of course. He joins a team that scored 19.7 a game and allowed 25.5 a game, obviously if they are to improve on 7-10 record they will most likely need to score more than they allow for the year.
Lawrence threw for 3641 last year with 12 TD and 17 INT and turning that stat around will be the key as all three of his wins were a 0 in INT column. They did bring in some receivers and a coach with a Super Bowl ring as well. They will look to improve on an offense that only put up 14.9 a game while giving up 26.9 per game.
I’m not sure anyone can really have a firm grasp on what to expect as far as this game based on last year other than that and the preseason is what we have seen from these teams. On the early consensus wagers in Las Vegas there is $60,000 wagered with 73% on the Jags +2.5 and 27 % on Washington -2.5. As far as the total sitting at 44 its 71% on the under and 29% on the over out of around $6000 wagered. Those numbers will of course change gameday. This actually the game with the least dollar amount wagered on it as to most the Jags were bad last year and the Commanders were ok and they have now brought in a QB that bettors aren’t sure if they can trust. This game here really is a toss up and that’s what there is to know heading into things. My prediction here 20-17 Commanders.
