As of Saturday, the Jacksonville Jaguars remain 6.5-point underdogs for their Week 15 game against the Oakland Raiders, per BetMGM. However, there were slight changes made to the Jags’ money line (from +220 to +225) and the game’s total (from 45.5 to 46.5).
With the Jags’ best receiver, D.J. Chark Jr., staying in Jacksonville due to an ankle injury, it’s surprising the spread didn’t increase a bit, but the Raiders haven’t been able to acquire many wins as of late. In fact, they will be coming off three blowout losses of their own courtesy of the New York Jets, Kansas City Chiefs and Tennessee Titans.
The Jags will be looking for their first win since coming off their bye week and will have to find a way to overcome a 2-12 all-time record on the West Coast. Their last win there was against the Raiders in January of 2004, which was 15 years ago. Additionally, they will have to overcome a hostile Oakland crowd that will be rowdy for the last regular season game at RingCentral Coliseum.
The Jags and Raiders will enter the game with an all-time record of 4-4 against each other, so the winner (if it isn’t a tie) will take the lead in the series. However, the Raiders have won the last three meetings between both teams, two of which were in Oakland.
