Jacksonville Jaguars Odds

Jacksonville Jaguars Odds, Bet Types, and Team History

OK, let's try this again. 

The Jaguars ushered in a new era in 2021 after a 1-15 season in 2020 -- new coach in Urban Meyer, new quarterback in No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence. But it's hard to understate how little went according to plan in their first season.

But Meyer was an outright disaster, both on the field and in the locker room. He was fired after a 2-11 start and Jacksonville closed the year 3-14 to secure the No. 1 pick for a second-straight year. The Jags actually did end the season on a high note, beating the Colts as a double-digit underdog in Week 18 to keep Indianapolis out of the playoffs.

The Jags invested heavily in their defense in the 2022 NFL Draft, taking Georgia pass-rusher Travon Walker first overall and Utah LB Devin Lloyd in the middle of the first round. They'll welcome back RB Travis Etienne (Lawrence's college teammate at Clemson) after he missed all of last season with a foot injury. The Jags also added WR Christian Kirk from the Cardinals, and should make him a focal point of the offense.

How to Bet on the Jacksonville Jaguars

Moneyline

Even though the Jags won just three games in 2021, they were profitable on the moneyline (per our Bet Labs database ) thanks to their 9-6 win over the Bills and season-ending upset of the Colts. Blindly betting $100 on all 17 Jags games netted you $133. 

Here's a moneyline example:

• Jaguars +650
• Colts -900

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 $100 wagered wins $650. And it's the opposite for underdogs: Here the Colts moneyline was set at -900, meaning a $900 wager would profit just $100 since Indy was so heavily favored.

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.

Point Spread

Point spread bets are bets on the margin of victory. The Jags went just 5-12 against the spread last season.

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 3+ 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.

Over/Under

Over/under, also called the 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 48 points. A wager on the over would require Tennessee and Jacksonville to score 49 total points or more to win. Betting the under is an expectation that the two teams would score 47 or fewer points. It's also possible for the bet to push, which would happen if the game finished with exactly 48 points scored.

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 entire 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. Here are two examples from DraftKings below:

• Trevor Lawrence 2022 passing yards: 4000.5
• Trevor Lawrence 2022 passing TDs: 22.5

Jaguars Futures

Futures are somewhat similar to prop bets in the way that both are monitored over the course of a season. Except most future bets are focused on end of season success. Examples of futures are:

• Jacksonville Jaguars odds to win the AFC South
• Jacksonville Jaguars odds to win the AFC
• Jacksonville Jaguars odds to win the Super Bowl
• Travon Walker's odds to win Defensive Rookie of the Year
