Lol Jinx. You owe me a Bud Light Limarita

The line is essentially saying that this is a "pickem" game and favors the Saints (which is about right).  You have to keep in mind, the betting line is not intended to predict the outcome of the game.  Basically the "one point favorites" means that the bettors in Vegas think that the Jaguars either win or lose by 1.  Usually a home team is "given 3 points" prior to the game (for betting purposes).

I'll say the same thing that I said last week.  The team that wins is going to be the team that wins the turnover battle and/or it's going to be won by a defensive or special teams score.  My prediction as as far as that aspect was correct on both points this last weekend.  Carolina won the turnover battle and scored a defensive touchdown.

This coming game is going to be no different.  I'll also include the penalty aspect.  The team that wins the turnover battle, gets a score via defense or special teams and has the fewest penalties will win.
