Jacksonville Jaguars at Cincinnati Bengals
Report: The Jaguars suffered through a disappointing 4-13 season last year, which is significant in that, since 1991, NFL road underdogs of less than +7 that won fewer than five games the previous season are 301-196-12 ATS (60.6%), including 99-55-5 ATS (64.3%) since 2016, covering the spread by an average margin of +2.9 points per game. Cincinnati falls into a very negative 4-43-5 ATS (8.5%) system of mine that invests against certain home favorites of less than four points averaging fewer than 28:00 minutes of possession per game in Weeks 2-5 of the regular season, failing to cover the spread by an average margin of -8.5 points per game. Since 2009, NFL favorites that failed to make the playoffs the previous season are 186-265-13 ATS (41.2%) in the first four games of the regular season. Meanwhile, NFL underdogs of +4 or less are 271-208-22 ATS (56.6%) in the first three weeks of the regular season since 2005.
Finally, Cincinnati finished with just 141 total yards of offense last week, which is notable because teams that won in Week 1 with 200 yards or less are 5-13 SU and 5-12-1 ATS in Week 2 affairs. With the road team standing at 5-2-1 ATS in the last eight meetings in this series, grab the points with Jacksonville and invest with confidence.
