PATS-JAGS OVER 41.5
(NFL) Patriots (NE) vs. Jaguars (JAC),
Total: 41.50 | -110.00 Over
Result: Win
I feel confident we will see more scoring than expected in this game. Jacksonville's defense will be in for a challenge from QB Drake Maye, especially with RB Rhamondre Stevenson looking more likely to play after he was a full participant in Friday's practice. New England should feel confident heading into this matchup, as I feel it has a better shot to win than the spread indicates. There will be few opportunities for potential wins for the Pats this season, and I expect them to come ready to compete.

On the other side, Jacksonville has to show up offensively. The Patriots rank 29th in defensive DVOA and 25th in creating pressure. There is pressure on QB Trevor Lawrence to step it up and this is as good as any opportunity to do that. Playing consecutive games in London should work in the Jags' favor too, as they had extra time to rest and prepare. With a clean pocket, Lawrence can be trusted to move the ball down the field and score.
