Jacksonville Jags v. New England Patriots Playoff Odds

Written by Jimmy Boyd on January 18, 2008

When anticipate the Jacksonville Jaguars v. New England Patriots odds to be one of the most bet on activities of the weekend. While this game won’t get the glamour that a potential matchup of the Patriots against either the Indianapolis Colts or San Diego Chargers will get, everyone wants to keep seeing this undefeated team in action each week. If you are planning on doing any NFL betting on this game then this article should help guide you in the right direction. However, if you really want to beat the NFL point spreads and make as much money as you can to close out the season, then buying a package of Jimmy Boyd’s NFL picks will leave you in the best spot to do so.

Jacksonville had a hard fought game against the Pittsburgh Steelers last Saturday, a game in which they came away with a 31-29 victory. The team had trouble moving the ball with only 239 total yards offensively and their defense gave up 297 passing yards to Big Ben and the Steelers. However, in their last four games to end the regular season the Jags gave up only 120, 105, 106, and 99 passing yards in each, and offensively put up an average of 415 ypg. On the year Jacksonville is averaging 25.7 ppg while holding their opponents to just 19 ppg. They have done a great job of running the ball with Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew, who combined for almost 150 ypg this year. Defensively the team is tough against both the run and the pass, which makes them a formidable opponent in the playoffs.

New England took last week off to rest their legs and get ready to extend their undefeated streak to the playoffs. Injury wise the team didn’t really need to get that healthy since they didn’t have much trouble in that department this year, but getting a bye week in the playoffs is always a real advantage. This team set records for offense this year with 36.8 ppg, but their defense only allowed 17.1 ppg for an average victory of nearly 20 ppg. They do a better job of airing it out with Tom Brady and a nice stable of receivers, but Laurence Maroney can pound the ball on the ground as well. Defensively there isn’t a better group of linebackers in the league, and they have a talented front three, and an above average secondary.
