The Jacksonville Jaguars opened the week as 1.5-point favorites over the Tampa Bay Bucs, but that’s no longer the case. Per BetMGM, they are now 2.5-point underdogs for their upcoming in-state battle Week 13.
The Jags’ final injury report for Week 13 had multiple starters listed as questionable, including linebacker Myles Jack and corner Tre Herndon, who were ruled questionable while safety Ronnie Harrison was ruled out with a concussion. That’s not a good position to be in with the No. 4 ranked passing defense coming into town, especially when considering the Jags’ defense was struggling all around even when they were 100%. That said, their iffy status health-wise seemingly caught the eyes of oddsmakers.
The Jaguars went from being a -115 favorite on the money line to a +115 underdog in the category. The over/under for the game also decreased from 48.5 to 47.5.
Heading into Sunday’s game fans can honestly say the Jags have been difficult to gauge with a 5-6 record against the spread. They also are below .500 against the spread at home with a 2-3 record.
