Free Betting Pick: Jacksonville Jaguars -3
The Jacksonville Jaguars showed a repeat of the 2018 season in the first preseason game as they had no offensive production, but the young QBs should be much better in their home stadium. Gardner Minshew is the favorite to win the backup QB job, and he should show the ability to run the offense in this game as he showed it throughout training camp. I am also scared to back the Eagles as they lost their backup QB in Sudfeld which means the only QBs on the roster are rookies and newly acquired camp arms who aren’t familiar with the offense just yet. Final Score Prediction, Jacksonville Jaguars win and cover ATS 20-14.
