Jacksonville Jaguars NFL Betting
The 2022-23 Jacksonville Jaguars will go down in the history books as one of the greatest NFL betting stories in the game! Doug Pederson’s troops showed heart, moxie, and determination to battle back from being left for dead not only winning the AFC South to punch a ticket to the playoffs, but also pulled off one of the greatest comebacks in second season history to secure the 31-30 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The season was then capped off with a backdoor cover in the Division Round at Arrowhead against the Kansas City Chiefs. The resume for Trevor Lawrence and co. looks fantastic heading into next season with the Jags going over their 6.5-game season wins total, winning the division as +700 underdogs, and closing the year out with covers at the online sportsbook in eight of their final 11 games (8-2-1 ATS). With upper management likely to add to the arsenal in the offseason and Trevor Lawrence destined to take another step forward in his growth at the NFL level, #Sacksonville will enter next season the odds-on favorite to win back-to-back division titles and could even be a player on the Super Bowl odds!
Jacksonville Jaguars 2022 Season Recap
The season opened with a tough to stomach 28-22 loss to what proved to be a very mediocre Washington Commanders outfit. Still, the Jaguars gave NFL bettors a taste of their “alligator blood” by battling back from a 14-3 halftime deficit to take a 22-14 lead minutes into the fourth quarter. While the defense allowed Carson Wentz of all people to stage the comeback, there were some positives to build off. The next two weeks let it be known that these weren’t your older brother’s Jacksonville Jaguars after shutting the division rival Colts 24-0 in the home opener and following it up with a dominant 38-10 beat down of Justin Herbert and the Chargers in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, it was a steady fall from grace over the next five weeks with games lost to the Eagles (29-21), Texans (13-6), Colts (34-27), Giants (23-17), and Broncos (21-17). The losing streak was snapped the following week after coming back from a 17-0 deficit at home to upend the Raiders 27-20.
It would then go on to drop two of its next three to the Chiefs (27-17) and Lions (40-14), but did manage to log another comeback win over the Ravens (28-27). From there, everything came up roses for Pederson’s crew who would rattle off five straight wins to close out the regular season which included sweeping both matchups against the Tennessee Titans. After managing a dreadful 2-6 record through its first eight games, the Jaguars would go on to cover the closing betting line at a 6-2-1 ATS clip to close things out. Then came the insane wild-card comeback against the Bolts that saw Lawrence and co. battle back from a 27-0 first half deficit to win 31-30 at the gun. While the team’s return trip to Arrowhead didn’t necessarily go as planned, the Jaguars still managed to claw within the closing point spread to end the season winners of two straight. That 8-2-1 closing run against the odds was a thing of legend!
2023 Offseason
There’s much to build off from the campaign. Many scoffed at the front office spending big money on free agent receivers Christian Kirk, Zay Jones, and Evan Engram. All they did was combine for over 3,100 receiving yards and 21 touchdowns through the playoffs. Only Engram is an unrestricted free agent next season. On top of that, Calvin Ridley will be added to the mix next year after serving his one year suspension for betting on sports. Travis Etienne will have had a year under his belt and should also take another step forward being the team’s primary rusher and receiver out of the backfield. Then there’s the much-improved offensive line that only allowed a grand total of 32 sacks through 19 overall games – an average of just 1.7 per game! With the offense in great shape, it will afford upper management to continue improving a very young defense that showed glimpses of stardom in spots over the course of the regular season. With the 25th pick in the NFL Draft, the Jaguars could continue shoring up either line or take the best player available that makes the most sense to add to the mix. The needle is certainly pointed north for this franchise!
Jacksonville Jaguars Schedule & Results
Because of their perpetual ineptitude, the Jaguars do not get much in the way of prime time games. In fact, the Jaguars will be relegated to a morning stage in 2022 from London.
In Week 8 on October 30, the Jaguars will face the Denver Broncos in London. The game will feature second-year Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence against Russell Wilson, the former marquee man of the Seattle Seahawks that is now tasked with getting the Broncos into the postseason.
Jacksonville gets one prime time game this season. In week 16, on Thursday, December 22, the Jaguars are at the New York Jets. This game features second year Jets quarterback Zach Wilson, who is also coming off a lost rookie season. We’ll know how much progress Wilson and Trevor Lawrence have made by this time on the schedule.

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.
