The San Diego Chargers showed very well last week in limiting Andrew Luck and the Colts – it was an impressive win. This week they find themselves playing the league’s weakest team in Jacksonville but they are travelling all the way across the country to do so, a situation which is usually a play against, at least in terms of the number.
The Jacksonville Jaguars and Kansas City Chiefs finished with identical 2-14 records last season, but don’t let that fool you – there is a wide talent gap between these two teams.
Now that the calendar has turned the page to July, it is time to start getting serious about ramping up your handicapping efforts for a new NFL season. To get you up to speed on Bovada’s futures odds to win each division, this time around we will take a closer look at the four teams in the AFC South.
While the Jags lost their season-opener 2nd year QB Blaine Gabbert looked good and he now gives Jags’ fans hope for the future. However, they will be facing a Texans’ team that won last week and not only has a great offense, but a great defense as well.
In the opening game for this season the Jags and Vikings may be without their biggest stars, as Adrian Peterson and Maurice Jones-Drew are questionable.
The Houston Texans are the big favorite to win the AFC South and with good reason, as they have a legit QB while the Titans have a QB battle with Tim Hasselbeck and Jake Locker, the Jaguars have a 2nd year signal caller who struggled last season in Blaine Gabbert, and the Colts will be starting rookie Andrew Luck.
The Colts (2-13) have won 2 straight games, but many fans in Indy may bee rooting for the Jaguars in this game. The Colts are tied with the Rams for the worst record in the league and if the Rams lose to the 49ers and the Colt beat the Jags than St. Louis would end up with the first pick in the draft.
The NFL season is a marathon, not a sprint. If you don’t believe that, then just ask Norv Turner and the San Diego Chargers.
Matt Leinart and the Houston Texans will try and extend their current winning streak to five games this Sunday afternoon when they tangle with the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Field in this AFC South matchup. The kick-off is slated for 1 p.m. and the game will be broadcast regionally on CBS.
It is not hard to believe that a game between Jacksonville and Indianapolis is creating a bit of a buzz. What is hard to believe is the fact that the buzz surrounds the possibility of the Colts getting their first win of the season in Week 10!
While a handful of projected AFC contenders have started slow out of the gate, the Baltimore Ravens are right where they expected to be at the top of the AFC North after winning four of their first five games.
Baltimore vs Jacksonville Monday Night Football Handicapping Predictions
The lowly Jacksonville Jaguars survived better than many handicappers expected last week in a trip to Pittsburgh but life gets no easier this week, even at home. On Monday Night Football, the Jags host a Baltimore Ravens team that dominated the same Pittsburgh Steelers that beat them last week.
After falling flat in losses to Baltimore and Houston early this season, the Pittsburgh Steelers got back on track with a statement win over Tennessee last week. Ben Roethlisberger threw five touchdown passes as the Steelers romped 38-17 over a hyped Titans team.
The Cincinnati Bengals tangle with the Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday afternoon in a battle of a couple of cats trying to stay in the hunt in the AFC. Game time from EverBank Field is slated for 1 p.m. and it will be broadcast regionally on CBS.
