Chargers Face the Jacksonville Jaguars Coming Off Bye Week
One of the more interesting betting matchups on Sunday’s NFL early games is in the AFC. The clash between the 3-5 Los Angeles Chargers and the 5-3 Jacksonville Jaguars is intriguing for many reasons. BetAnySports has the Jaguars as five-point home favorites and the total for this 1 p.m. kickoff on CBS from EverBank Field has been set at 41 points.
The Chargers went into last week’s bye off a tough 21-13 loss to New England. They were 6.5-point road underdogs. This dropped them to 3-5 straight-up with a 3-4-1 record against the spread. The total stayed UNDER 48 points in that loss. This means the total has now stayed UNDER in five of their first eight games on the closing betting line. Los Angeles is 2-1-1 ATS in four road games this year.
Behind veteran quarterback Philip Rivers, the Chargers are 11th in the NFL in passing with an average of 243.9 yards per game, but they dip down to 16th in total yards because of a ground game that is only adding 88.9 yards per game. The biggest strength of this team is on the other side of the ball with a defense that is eighth against the pass and seventh in the league in points allowed (19.0).
Jacksonville Jaguars Leading the AFC South
Surprising Jacksonville continues to set the pace in the AFC East with Tennessee at 5-3 on the year. It is also 5-3 ATS after taking down Cincinnati 23-7 on Sunday as a 5.5-point home underdog. The total stayed UNDER BetAnySports’ closing 37.5-point line in that game and it has stayed UNDER in three of the Jaguars’ last four outings. They improved to 2-2 ATS at home this season and 2-1 ATS when closing as favorites.
Blake Bortles had to win back his starting job at quarterback this season and he continues to earn his keep with 1,657 passing yards and 10 touchdown throws against five interceptions. The most impressive part of Sunday’s win was the 149 yards this offense gained on the ground even with rookie sensation Leonard Fournette out of the lineup due to injury. The Jaguars’ defense continues to play at a very high level as the league’s top unit in points allowed (14.6).
Two of the stingiest defenses in the NFL highlight this matchup which presents a great opportunity to capitalize on BetAnySports’ current 41-point total line with a play on the UNDER.
