Broncos vs. Jaguars Odds and Picks for Week 8

The Denver Broncos have gone four weeks without a single win and things aren’t looking good. The finger-pointing has begun as to who’s responsible for the team’s poor performance. On one side, you could blame Russell Wilson for the 2-5 record. On the other, you could go after head coach Nathaniel Hackett. We wouldn’t be surprised if Hackett didn’t last for the entire season.

The Jacksonville Jaguars also have a 2-5 record, but it feels a little different. The Jaguars are playing better as a team and nearly beat the New York Giants. This game against the Broncos gives them a solid opportunity to earn a win. It’ll take a lot of work, but this is a great match-up for the Jaguars.

Broncos vs. Jaguars Preview, Trends and Stats

We’re heading into week 8 of the NFL season and the Denver Broncos have still not ironed out the kinks. Their offense looks awful and frankly, we’re not sure if it will get much better this season. As we mentioned above, their poor performance could be due to a variety of reasons.

On average, the Denver Broncos are averaging 14.3 points per game. This is a league-worst average and isn’t indicative of the talent they have on their roster. They need to find a way to score points. That falls on Russell Wilson and Nathaniel Hackett.

They’ve found a few ways to stop opposing teams with their defense. They rank third in the NFL when it comes to points allowed (16.4). Their defense can’t do everything and although they’ve been stingy on defense, it’ll only last so long.

There are a few things that the Jacksonville Jaguars do well; running the ball is one of them. On average, the Jaguars are putting up 137.4 rushing yards per game. They rank ninth in the NFL in this category and we expect them to use this against the Broncos.

To win this game, the Jacksonville Jaguars need to protect the ball and avoid turnovers. They’ve had success on defense, allowing just 19.6 points per game. If their defense can hold up their end, the Jaguars could definitely walk away with a win.

NFL ATS Picks

Broncos vs. Jaguars Predictions

The Denver Broncos are +3 coming into this game, but we don’t trust them to win this game. So, we have to decide if 3 points is enough for them to cover. This means they could lose by a field goal and still come away with a push at the sportsbook.

This season, they have a 2-5 record against the spread, matching their overall record. The Jaguars have exactly the same record against the spread. Due to this, we’ll actually go with Wilson and the Denver Broncos +3.

Final Score: 20-18 (Jaguars)

EXTRA POINTS

1. The total has gone under in eight of Denver’s last 11 games.

2. The Jaguars have a 1-7 record against the spread in their last eight games.

3. Russell Wilson remains “questionable” with a calf injury.

Best Bet: Broncos +3 (-105) and Under 39.5 (-110)
