Panthers vs. Jaguars Betting Line – Week 1
The Panthers vs. Jaguars betting line for 2015 Week 1 had Jacksonville as a +3 home underdog.
Jacksonville has been the worst team in the NFL for the last couple of seasons. Is it possible we will see a turnaround in 2015? The oddsmakers seem to think so, at least to some degree. They have favored Jacksonville to win at least six regular season games.
AthlonSports writes of this year’s Jaguars:
(Owner Shad) Khan clearly expects more. More wins. More close games. More touchdowns. More takeaways. And he made his thoughts known when addressing fans in mid-February: “We owe (fans) better results on game day. I know that. Dave knows that. Gus knows that.”
Knowing that, (Dave) Caldwell (the general manager) and (Gus) Bradley (the coach) went to work. They shook up the coaching staff. They signed a slew of free agents, six of whom are expected to start. And they added an eight-player draft class that will feature at least two opening-day starters.
As for the Carolina Panthers, this is a team that came alive the final few weeks of last season when it counted the most, helping catapult them into the Playoffs, even with a losing record.
They are priced at -155 to win UNDER 8.5 regular season games however.
