Jacksonville has the look of a team that is one year away from serious contention. To say the Urban Meyer era was a disaster would be an understatement. New coach Doug Pederson went 7-9 in his first year in Philadelphia (2016) before going 13-3 and nabbing a Super Bowl title in year two. With the last two first overall draft picks on the roster, quarterback Trevor Lawrence and linebacker Travon Walker, the Jaguars' future looks to be bright. Adding to the team's intrigue this season is the debut of the team's other 2021 first-round pick, Travis Etienne, who missed last year with a foot injury.

The Jaguars open with four of their first six games on the road, which is rough for their new coach and relatively inexperienced quarterback. They also close with four of their last seven on the road. By playing in London yearly, Jacksonville has the disadvantage of only playing seven true home games, though the experience on the road might benefit them in years to come. 

While it's unlikely that the Jaguars can make a 2021 Cincinnati-like jump to the playoffs and beyond, long shot-seeking bettors might take a shot at the plus-money on the over 6.5 wins and to make the playoffs. Pederson should bring a renewed energy and positive vibes to an organization that has been in desperate need of them since their AFC Championship Game run in 2017-18. If Lawrence somehow makes a Joe Burrow-like leap in year two, Jacksonville could be one of the surprises of the 2022-23 season.
