Jacksonville Jaguars - NFL Betting Analysis
This week, the Jaguars will look to keep things rolling after picking up a 28-27 over the Baltimore Ravens. Heading into the game, the Jaguars were 3.5-point underdogs, resulting in both a straight-up and ATS victory. The teams combined for a total of 55 points, which surpassed the over-under betting line of 43. Jacksonville went into the 4th quarter of the game, trailing by 2 at 12-10, but still came back to win and cover the spread as underdogs. Through 11 games, the Jaguars have an ATS record of 4-7. So far, they have an over-under record of 5-6. This week's betting total of 51.5 is higher than the line in their previous games.
Heading into this week's matchup, the Jaguars' offense is averaging 22.2 points per game, placing them 16th in the NFL. Look for the team to put together a strong offensive performance vs a Lions defense giving up 31.0 points per game. Although the Jaguars come into the game ranked just 13th in pass yards per game, they will benefit from facing a Detroit secondary that is vulnerable through the air. We expect Jacksonville to have an above-average performance in the passing attack. On the ground, the Jaguars should be in line for a good performance, as they are one of the better rushing team's in the league and are facing a defense that has its problem stopping the run.
Detroit Lions - NFL Betting Analysis
This week, the Lions will be looking to get back to winning ways, as they fell to the Buffalo Bills by a score of 28-25 in week 12. In terms of betting, Detroit covered the spread as 9.5-point underdogs. The team's combined scoring of 53 points fell below the posted betting line of 55. The Lions were not able to make a comeback in last week's game, as they trailed Buffalo by a score of 19-14 heading into the final quarter. Through 11 games, the Lions have an ATS record of 7-4. So far, they have an over-under record of 7-4. This week's betting total of 51.5 is right in line with their previous games.
As the Lions prepare to take on Jacksonville, they have played well on offense, ranking 9th in points per game at 25.0. Even though they have a tough matchup against the league's 12th-ranked defense, look for Detroit to continue their strong offensive play. Throughout the game, Detroit should be able to move the ball through the air, as they are the 12th-ranked team in terms of passing yards. In addition, they are facing off against a defense that has been vulnerable in the secondary. On the ground, the Lions should be in line for a good performance, as they are one of the better rushing team's in the league and are facing a defense allowing 114.8 yards per game.
