Jaguars still a popular bet to exceed expectations this year

Many people thought the Jaguars were going to be better last year, and surprisingly, they weren’t.

But that sag to three wins notwithstanding, the Jaguars are still a popular proposition in Las Vegas.

According to Graham McKean of ESPN.com, the Jaguars surpassing the over-under of 5.5 wins is a popular bet at a number of sports books. The most money at the Westgate and 7 percent of all the bets taken at William Hill’s 100-plus operations has been on the Jaguars exceeding the over.

That comes despite the casinos’ price dropping from minus-170 to minus-145 upon the season-ending injury to first-rounder Dante Fowler.
