Jets vs Jaguars Prediction
The current betting odds have the Jets listed as a 3.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Jets have looked terrible in their games this season with their 3-10 record overall which has them in 3rd place of the AFC East and eliminated from playoff contention. Aaron Rodgers has looked terrible in the offense all season and the defense has looked worse since firing their head coach Robert Saleh. They finally showed some life in their last one though, losing in OT to the Dolphins, and that was a game they were leading for most of the time with a real chance to win. Meanwhile, the Jaguars have also looked terrible in their games this season with their 3-10 record overall which has them in 3rd place of the AFC South with one of the worst records in the entire NFL. They are coming off a win over the Titans in their last one, but they really haven't looked good in their games and their offense has been hopeless without Trevor Lawrence who is out injured. They only put up 10 points in their win last week and they are going to need more points in this one with the way the Jets played last week. The Jets are going to try and build off that close game against the Dolphins and they do have a lot more talent than the Jaguars have. This will be a game where the Jaguars won't be able to keep up on offense as the Jets pull away throughout the game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Jets to cover the spread in this game.
Jets Jaguars Prediction: Our NFL Pick for Sunday, December 15, 2024 (1:00 pm ET start time) is Jets 27 Jaguars 3.

“It’s sort of a relief, right? You know, it’s the excitement. It’s the joy of the work that you put in. And you’re finally rewarded.” - Doug Pederson after his team’s win against the Titans in their last game.
