The Jacksonville Jaguars haven’t shown the ability to keep games close as of late, which hasn’t given fans much confidence. Add in the fact that they’ve struggled mightily on the West Coast in recent history and it appears the Jags may be in for a disaster against the Oakland Raiders this week.
Per BetMGM, the Jags are down as 6.5-point underdogs at the moment, which is the biggest spread margin the Jags have had for quite some time. Oddly enough, that’s a margin that comes in the process of the Raiders dealing with a three-game losing streak of their own.
Like the Jags, the Raiders have been getting blown out as of late, losing their last three games by margins of 31, 31 and 21. Unlike the Jags, however, they still have a shot at the playoffs with a 6-7 record and a win against the Jags would put them at .500.
For those Jags fans who need some positive vibes heading into Sunday’s game, history says this game could go either way. The Jags have an all-time record of 4-4 against the Raiders. Two of those wins occurred on the Raiders home turf.
The total for Sunday’s game is set at 45.5, while the money line for the Jags is set at +220. Kickoff for the game will be at 4:05 pm ET on CBS.
