And home team is usually given 3....

So... I think the Saints are actually favored and it's a risky line to bet either way.

We are expected to win by 1 point. We are the favourites for the game on Sunday. 

If it was in New Orleans the Saints would be favoured, but it isn't so. I'd be betting Saints side in either game.

So would I. 

My point is...it isn't really a trap game if you are the betting underdog.

Vegas setting a line isn't the same as "expected to win" they set lines trying to get bets to roll in a certain way.

Home teams are usually given 3 points. The fact that we are only given 1 is very telling. And shows that we aren't "expected" to win anything.
Words and what they mean matter.

Jags favored by 1 is essentially a 'pick em' game. 
I agree, however, that it isn't a trap game because they won't be looking ahead at a better opponent and we're not the Phins lol
