Patriots vs. Jaguars Prediction: Pass on Jacksonville at -155

Analysis updated September 27, 2026 at 7:14 AM CDT

Jacksonville needs better protection for Trevor Lawrence after struggling in Denver. The Jaguars are favored at home, but the available evidence does not justify their price.

Jacksonville's protection is the key matchup

Jacksonville Jaguars coverage reported that the team's pass protection struggled in its Week 2 loss at Denver and identified protecting Trevor Lawrence as a key issue against New England. That concern makes Jacksonville difficult to back at -155 or -3, even though the Jaguars are the likely winner at home.

The New England Patriots ruled outside linebacker Dre'Mont Jones out with a shoulder injury. Starting safety Craig Woodson and tight end Eli Raridon traveled to Jacksonville but remained questionable, leaving uncertainty on both sides of the ball. Wide receiver A.J. Brown is also on injured reserve.

Betting view

New England is +130, and the total is 45.5. There is no reliable game-specific evidence on recent scoring or current team performance to support the underdog or either side of the total. The best decision is to pass.
