Football! You remember this sport, don’t you? Well, it’s almost back.
This bet is less an opinion on who’s going to win the Week 1 matchup between the Jaguars and Texans in Houston and more an opinion on where I think the line will go. Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson is unlikely to play, but once he’s officially declared out, bettors will react and so will the market, perhaps driving this line north of 3.
That is not just a key number in the NFL, it’s the key number. Games land on 3 more than any other number, and banking a 2.5 Jaguars ticket now sets you up to have the best of the number in your pocket come September. It also gives you an opportunity to buy back on the Texans and set yourself up for a chance at a middle.
If you can find a -135 moneyline on the Jaguars, that is also a very solid play (Jacksonville currently is -145 at BetMGM). Get the best of the number and take the Jaguars now.
The play: Jaguars -2.5 over Texans in Week 1.
