Oddsmakers don’t like the Jaguars’ chances to beat the Raiders in Week 16.
The Jacksonville Jaguars (3-11) will face the Las Vegas Raiders (2-11, playing tonight) at 4:25 p.m. EST on Sunday, Dec. 22 at Allegiant Stadium.
According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Jaguars are 1.5-point underdogs and the total is 40.5 points.
Each of these teams is a shell of their former selves. The Raiders are without Davante Adams (trade), Maxx Crosby and Gardner Minshew for the rest of the season. Meanwhile, Trevor Lawrence, Evan Engram, Christian Kirk and Gabe Davis are all on injured reserve for the Jaguars.
“It’s been an up-and-down year,” Mac Jones said after Sunday’s loss. “But that’s your job as a backup quarterback, to be in there getting ready to play. We had some guys injured this year. I feel like the young guys have stepped up and made plays. And to hang with a good team like that, I mean, it was good, but I want to win. Everybody wants to win. We’ll find ways to do that these next three.”
