Panthers vs. Jaguars Predictions for NFL Week 1, Sunday 9/7

Look, we know that this is not going to be the #1 matchup that fans are tuned into. Outside of fantasy lineups and what we see from NFL Redzone, it’s unlikely to garnish the bulk of your attention for Week 1.

That said, we can still make our Panthers vs. Jaguars picks as valuable as possible! After all, someone has got to come away with a victory, and both teams have a rather clear path to do so. That plays a major role in how we’re approaching our best bet as well, so let’s start with how Carolina can pull off the upset.

Last season, the Jags had the league's worst pass defense, so if there is a matchup prime for young QB Bryce Young to flourish, this is it. Conversely, the Panthers had the NFL’s worst rush defense. That’s bad news when facing the backfield duo of Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby.

That’s already a bit of foreshadowing for you, and since it leads into the best bet from our Panthers vs. Jaguars predictions, let’s transition into exactly that. 

 

 

 

Panthers vs. Jaguars Best Bet: Jacksonville -3 Points (-110 at Rebet)

Before we get into our favorite approach, we began coming up with it after first locking in on Panthers vs. Jaguars player props. However, Week 1 is when you’ll see more standard markets than in other weeks, and this game is a perfect example of why.

First and foremost, while Jacksonville may have allowed the most passing yards per game last year, are the Panthers really the team that can exploit that? Until Bryce Young proves otherwise, we just don’t see it. If anything, it’s still RB Chuba Hubbard that they’ll lean on, as the Panthers vs. Jaguars odds have him as the most likely to find the endzone.

On that front, that’s also a factor as to why we’re just backing the Jags to win. This is 100% a prime spot for Etienne Jr. and Bigsby, but that’s also the problem - it’s a prime spot for BOTH of them. That’s why we see them with nearly identical TD scorer odds. In other words, we aren’t in the business of simply picking the one that doesn’t find the endzone while the other one does.

Truthfully, they both certainly could, and if you want a long shot for part of your Panthers vs. Jaguars picks, consider a multi-TD prop play. When these teams met two seasons ago, Etienne Jr. scored twice (a 26-0 Jags win), and that’s around +1200 odds right now!

Regardless, rather than making sure we pick the right one to go off, we’re just going to back them both, helping the Jags win. Especially if you already have to make that call for your fantasy lineups, we’re going to Jacksonville -3 (-110 at Rebet) as the best bet from our Panthers vs. Jaguars predictions.
