Chargers vs. Jaguars: NFL Wild Card Weekend Early Odds, Picks & Predictions (2023)
The six NFL Wild Card Round matchups are set. The San Francisco 49ers and Buffalo Bills are both favored by double-digits, while the Los Angeles Chargers and Dallas Cowboys are road favorites over uninspiring division winners. Questions surround who will be starting at quarterback for the Miami Dolphins and the Baltimore Ravens. Once answers are given, expect some serious line movement.
Here is a look at the early Wild Card Weekend lines and where you should expect them to move. And here’s a closer look at Chargers vs. Jaguars.
Chargers vs. Jaguars: NFL Wild Card Weekend Early Odds, Picks & Predictions (2023)
The Chargers played their starters for most of the season-finale against the Denver Broncos, and the results were disheartening. When they benched Justin Herbert midway through the second half, the Broncos held a 24-20 lead.
Now, the Chargers must go to Jacksonville and take on the red-hot Jaguars. The Jags’ offense did not look good against the Tennessee Titans on Saturday night, but that has not prevented bettors from backing them. The Chargers opened as 2.5-point favorites, and this line has already dropped to 1.5.
While this initial line movement is good for the Jaguars, do not expect them to be favored at kickoff. Instead, expect more money to come in on the Chargers throughout the week, as they rightly remain favorites.
Current Line: Chargers -1.5
Predicted Final Line: Chargers -2.5
