Jacksonville Jaguars Week 1 Best Bets - NFL Betting Lines

The Jacksonville Jaguars enter the 2025 NFL betting season searching for a reset after a disastrous offensive showing last year. Oddsmakers have cooled expectations, listing the Jaguars +7623 longshots to cash in on the Super Bowl odds, +3318 to win the AFC Championship, and +325 to capture AFC South bragging rights. Their NFL win total is set at 7.5 games, a number that highlights market skepticism but also leaves room for bettors who believe in a turnaround under new leadership. Jaguars’ fans can now bet the NFL with Bitcoin at BookMaker Sportsbook, featuring fast crypto deposits and withdrawals.

The biggest offseason change came with the hiring of offensive coordinator Liam Coen, who helped Tampa Bay’s attack hit new levels in 2024. Jacksonville hopes Coen can breathe life into an offense that lacked rhythm and consistency. With young talent still on the roster, the Jaguars’ ability to outperform their NFL futures odds will hinge on whether the new scheme produces immediate results that can be sustained over time.

Jacksonville Jaguars Week 1 Matchup

On Sunday, September 7, 2025, the Jacksonville Jaguars will host the Carolina Panthers at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. ET with television coverage on FOX. NFL betting lines opened with Jacksonville as -2.5 favorites, but has since jumped to the key number of -3 with a majority of the betting handle going the way of the home team. The total opened 45.5 and ticked up slightly to 46, a modest move that suggests some bettors expect more scoring than oddsmakers initially projected.

The storyline centers on whether Coen’s offensive influence shows up immediately. Jacksonville’s struggles last year left bettors wary of backing them against the NFL point spread, especially at home. The Jaguars are 4–6 straight up and 5–4–1 ATS in their last ten home games, with the Under cashing in three of their last four. NFL totals bettors may weigh those historical results against the expectation of an offensive boost in 2025.

Injuries also play a role in shaping the NFL Week 1 odds. Travis Hunter is listed as questionable with an upper body injury, and his status could impact how Jacksonville’s offense matches up with Carolina’s secondary. The availability of young playmakers is critical if the Jaguars are to justify their role as favorites on the NFL spread.

From a betting market perspective, Jacksonville has been inconsistent at EverBank Stadium. Bettors focusing on NFL spread picks will want to see if the Jaguars can finally defend their home field and deliver a reliable cover. Public money often gravitates toward small home favorites early in the season, which explains why Jacksonville has seen early love from the markets. NFL line movement around key numbers like three is often telling, and bettors will be watching closely if the spread inches even higher as kickoff nears.

The total’s small bump reflects another storyline. Jacksonville has leaned Under in recent games, but the hiring of Coen has created optimism that the Jaguars will open up their offense. NFL Over/Under betting trends show that early-season totals can be vulnerable to sharp action if the market underestimates a coordinator’s impact. This Week 1 spot provides an early test for both the team and the market’s expectations.

Jacksonville Jaguars 2024-25 Recap

Jacksonville’s 2024 campaign was one to forget. The Jaguars finished 4–13 straight up, 9–7–1 against the spread, and 9–8 to the Over, a mix that underscored how competitive they could be for bettors even while struggling to win games outright. The NFL betting trends showed that Jacksonville often hung around enough to cover the number, but their lack of offensive consistency made Overs difficult to trust.

The offense was the root issue. Drives stalled frequently, red-zone efficiency plummeted, and turnovers erased opportunities. The defense held its own at times, keeping games close enough for the Jaguars to cover spreads, but the lack of scoring ultimately buried the team. For bettors, Jacksonville became a tricky handicap: viable as an ATS underdog, but unreliable in moneyline betting or totals markets.

Despite the struggles, there were glimpses of potential. Young talent showed flashes, and the coaching staff change on offense signals recognition of the need for fresh ideas. Entering 2025, Jacksonville’s 7.5-game win total in the NFL futures market sets a modest bar, one that can be exceeded if Coen’s system maximizes skill position players like Brian Thomas Jr. who shot himself out of a cannon throughout a sensational rookie campaign.

Ultimately, Jacksonville is a team bettors will approach with caution in the early going. The Jaguars’ NFL odds reflect a franchise in transition, one capable of outperforming expectations but equally vulnerable to continued struggles. Week 1 against Carolina offers the first look at whether Jacksonville’s offense is truly on the rise or if their NFL betting profile remains defined by inconsistency.

2025 Jacksonville Jaguars Schedule, Results & Record

New general manager James Gladstone was bold in his first offseason at the helm in Jacksonville. In free agency, he bolstered the secondary with Jourdan Lewis and Eric Murray and gave Trevor Lawrence added protection with Patrick Mekari. The Jags are very high on Dyami Brown as a big-play threat, given his $10 million contract for 2025.

While free agency was solid, it was the NFL Draft where they made their biggest splash, leaping up to the No. 2 overall pick to select Travis Hunter, who was the most talented player in the class. The Heisman Trophy winner is going to attempt to play both ways, and if he can come close to replicating his Colorado production, this is a home run for Jacksonville, even if it was costly to move up. Specifically on offense, fans and gamblers are beyond excited to see the receiver duo of Brian Thomas Jr. and Hunter. The back-to-back selections of Milum and Tuten in the third and fourth rounds were also strong.

Jacksonville Jaguars Past Seasons (2000)

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 have occasionally shown signs of contention, 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.
