JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jacksonville Jaguars are hosting LA Chargers during NFL Playoff Wild Card Weekend and early game lines slightly favor Justin Herbert and the Chargers.

Early Game Lines

Moneyline Spread Total
Chargers -115/Jaguars -105 Chargers -1.0/Jaguars +1.0 Over 47.5 (-110)/Under 47.5 (-110)

These two teams met during the second week of the regular season in LA and the Jaguars displayed complete dominance through a 28 point win on the road as 3.5 point underdogs at legal sportsbooks. Even with the road success during week three, the Jags have played their best football in Jacksonville, going 5-2 SU this regular season.

The Chargers have struggled to maintain momentum early in the season, but have now won four of the last five games. Jacksonville currently has the fourth longest win streak in the NFL, winning their last five games.

Part of the late success of both teams has been fueled by their young quarterbacks. Even though neither QB has any NFL playoff experience, they both have been playing at an elite level heading into the postseason.

QB Stats Last Five Weeks

  • Trevor Lawrence – 1,279 Passing Yards, 6 TDs, 2 Interceptions
  • Justin Herbert – 1,400 Passing Yards, 5 TDs, 3 Interceptions

Betting on the Jags to Cover

The Jaguars have gone 8-9 ATS during the 2022-23 regular season, but have been perfect ATS when playing as the home underdog with a 4-0 record. When playing at home as the favorite, they have gone 0-3 ATS.

With legal NFL sportsbooks making the Chargers one point favorites, there is value in betting on the Jaguar to cover and stay undefeated ATS as the home underdog.

The Charges have also found success this season covering the spread as the road favorite, however, going 4-1 during the 2022-23 season. Since Herbert was drafted in 2020, the Charges have gone 5-5-1 as the favorite in the road ATS. Since the 2021 season with Lawrence, the Jags have gone 9-9 ATS as the home underdog.

Can Jacksonville cover the spread as home underdogs?
