Jacksonville Jaguars Odds

Jacksonville Jaguars Odds, Bet Types, and Team History

Welcome to the Trevor Lawrence era. After the Jacksonville Jaguars went a franchise-worst 1-15 in 2020, they took the former Clemson QB with the first pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Lawrence put together three strong college seasons and won a national championship. Now he and new head coach Urban Meyer will look to turn the tide of an organization that owns just eight winning seasons in 26 years.

Unlike some past No. 1 picks, Lawrence gets the benefit of developing alongside some talented skill position players. Running back James Robinson eclipsed 1,400 scrimmage yards and scored 10 touchdowns as a rookie. The backfield should get even stronger with the addition of first-round pick Travis Etienne , who lined up alongside Lawrence in college.

Jacksonville returns two of its top three receivers in DJ Chark and Laviska Shenault Jr. That duo combined for 113 catches, 1,306 yards and 10 touchdowns last year and could improve with the addition of Marvin Jones Jr. , who nearly topped 1,000 yards in 2020.

The Jaguars defense allowed the second-most points per game last year with 30.8. Linebacker Joe Schobert figures to be an anchor in the middle of the unit after racking up 141 total tackles in 2020. General manager Trent Baalke also drafted defensive backs Tyson Campbell and Andre Cisco in the first and third rounds to add depth to the secondary.

The Jaguars open the 2021 NFL season at the Houston Texas. You can view the Action Network’s top odds for the game below in addition to an NFL Odds comparison.

Betting on the Jacksonville Jaguars

Jacksonville Jaguars Point Spreads

Betting point spreads are wagers based on the expectation that a team will win or lose by a certain number of points. Despite owning the NFL’s worst overall record at 1-15, the Jaguars were 7-9 against the spread, indicating some close games played throughout the year. Jacksonville’s 15 losses were by an average of 12.9 points, though six were by eight points or less.

Here’s an example:

• Texans +2.5 (+110)
• Jaguars -2.5 (-110)

In this situation, the Texans are 2.5 point underdogs against the Jaguars. If Jacksonville wins the game by three or more points, a $100 wager on the Jaguars would come with a payout of $90.91. If Houston won the game outright or lost by two points or less, the same $100 wager would net $110 plus the original $100 for a total of $210.

Jaguars Over/Unders aka Jaguars Totals

Over/under, also called point total, is a wager placed on the combined scoring of a single game. Bookmakers come up with a number and you can either bet the over or — you guessed it — the under. Here’s how it works:

Let's say the Titans play the Jaguars and the over/under is set at 58 points. A wager on the over would require Kansas City and Los Angeles to score 59 total points or more to win. Betting the under is an expectation that the two teams would score 57 or fewer points. It's also possible for the bet to push, which would happen if the game finished with exactly 58 points scored.

In 2020, Jacksonville averaged 19.1 points per game (30th in NFL) and allowed 30.8 points (31st in NFL). The Jaguars still managed to go .500 when it came to point totals, hitting both the over and under in 50 percent of their games.

Jacksonville Jaguars Moneylines

Jacksonville had the worst record in the NFL, making it the least effective play when betting a moneyline. For odds as straightforward as these, the Jaguars were a high-risk, low-reward play last year. Check out this example:

• Jaguars -110
• Colts +220

The minus (-) and plus (+) signs distinguish the favorite from the underdog, making Indianapolis the favorite in this scenario. Odds can be understood more clearly if you think in terms of $10 or $100 increments. A wager on the Jaguars odds would mean every $110 bet nets $100. And it's the opposite for underdogs: Here the Colts moneyline was set at +220, meaning a $100 wager would profit $220.

Moneylines are also commonly used when making parlays, which are multiple bets tied into one. Let’s say you bet the Jaguars moneyline and a -2.5 point spread, Jacksonville would need to win by three points or more for that bet to be successful. The risk is greater, but so is the reward with increased odds. Use our Odds Calculator to calculate any bet amount or conversion.

Jacksonville Jaguars Props

Player props are wagers on a single player, and they're tied to a single stat found in the box score for a game or even the whole season. These are among the most fun to bet on, especially if you're already playing fantasy football and like the player-specific focus it offers. Check out a hypothetical example below:

• Trevor Lawrence 2021 passing yards: 3750.5

Jaguars Futures

• Jacksonville Jaguars odds to win the AFC South
• Jacksonville Jaguars odds to win the AFC
• Jacksonville Jaguars odds to win the Super Bowl
• Trevor Lawrence’s odds to win Offensive Rookie of the Year

Jaguars Team Rivals

The Jaguars started 1-0 last season before losing its next 15 games. Jacksonville went 1-5 against AFC South opponents and has only won the division once since joining it in 2002. The Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts both went 11-5 last year, but Tennessee won the AFC South on a tiebreaker.

The Houston Texans finished in third place at 4-12, making it just the second time in six seasons that they missed the playoffs.
