Jacksonville Jaguars Week 4 Matchup

On Sunday, October 1, 2023, the Jacksonville Jaguars will take on the Atlanta Falcons from Wembley Stadium in London, UK. Kickoff time is set for 9:30 a.m. ET with television coverage on ESPN+. The lookahead betting line for this non-con matchup opened with the Jags laying 3-points and the O/U lined 45.5. The betting line is yet to waver from the opener. However, the reduced -105 juice on the Jags side of the impost lets it be known the betting market is leaning towards fading them ever so slightly. Jacksonville’s Week 1 win and cover at the Colts moved the team to 4-0 SU and ATS in its last four treks away from Duval County with the O/U split and an average of 41.5 points scored. Total bettors seem to expect each offense to struggle in this London clash with the total down two full points to 43.5. The defense has shown a propensity to shut opposing running games down in limiting the Colts, Chiefs, and Texans to an average of 84.0 yards per game (No. 6) and 3.4 yards per carry (No. 7). However, Bijan Robinson and Co. represents their toughest test of the young NFL betting season with the Falcons cutting the rug for upwards of 128.3 yards per game (No. 9). If unable to limit what Atlanta attempts to do on the ground, it could prove to be another long day for the Jags with the defense having all kinds of issues limiting the opposition through the air.

Jacksonville Jaguars Week 3 Recap

After laying an egg at home against the Kansas City Chiefs the week prior, the NFL betting market wasn’t buying the Jaguars laying upwards of a touchdown against the division rival Texans. Though 68 percent of the bets showed up in support, the money was split 50/50. The 37-17 end result in favor of Houston ended up being a huge get for the online sportsbook with Jacksonville proving to be one of the more attractive Week 3 teaser legs. Though the offense outgained the Texans 404-366 and racked up 22 first downs without conceding a single sack, Trevor Lawrence and Co. were once again horrendous on third down (5/13) while only managing a pair of red zone penetrations and converting one into six. Jacksonville currently ranks No. 29 in third down conversion percentage and No. 21 in red zone scoring percentage! Not exactly what Doug Pederson had in mind with the offense expected to be the strength of the team heading into the 2023-24 season. Even more alarming was the defense that allowed C.J. Stroud to log the first win of his NFL career by shredding them for 280 yards and 2 TD en route to logging a career-high 118.8 QB rating. Pass defense has been a major issue for Mike Caldwell’s stop unit with it conceding just short of 265.0 yards per game (No. 26) and a grotesque 7.7 yards per pass attempt (No. 25). If it can’t contain an Atlanta passing attack that’s averaged a paltry 155.0 yards per game (No. 28), changes must be made in the secondary for the Jags to live up to lofty preseason expectations.

Jacksonville Jaguars Schedule & Results

Founded in 1995 as an expansion team, the Jacksonville Jaguars made the AFC Championship Game in their very next season. In those days, taskmaster Tom Coughlin was the absolute dictator of all football operations and the head coach. “Camp Coughlin” was the toughest in the NFL, and the Jaguars adopted the mentality of their leader. Jacksonville made the AFC playoffs four consecutive years and went 14-2 in 1999. However, the Jaguars lost the AFC Championship game and were never the same. Coughlin lost his touch both with roster moves and player relations, and he was shown the door in 2002.

Since then, the Jaguars would occasionally show signs of contention life but could never sustain it. Since 2000 the Jaguars have made the playoffs just three times.

In 2017 Jacksonville led the host New England Patriots midway through the 4th quarter in the AFC Championship game. But New England quarterback Tom Brady pulled the game out of the fire. Jacksonville was said to be a team on the come at that time. Instead, they regressed, never to return to the postseason until 2022.
