Haven't checked recently but weren't we favored by 1?
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.

I will never, EVER forget the game we played against the Saints on Dec. 21, 2003, the "River City Relay".
Wow, what a finish, what a game.

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

Yeah, 20-19 with time expired. The review took forever, then the touchdown was upheld.
Then Carney missed the extra point wide right.

They are the bookies favourites for the win right now. If you are betting outright you make more money on a saints win than on a jags win. I'm well ware of how home or away spreads are set, trust me.

If it was in New Orleans it would be Saints win and Saints anywhere from -2.5 - -4 right now

He suddenly appeared Limited on the injury report on Thursday. Saints haven't said anything yet. 

I'd say rest him a game. Why risk it?!

He’s officially questionable and hasn’t practiced all week.

Sure hope he sits!

Kamara's weeping sympathy after watching what McCaffrey did to us prevents him from playing.

When asked about Kamara playing Sunday, Sean Payton pleaded the 5th...that's a good sign for Jags fans, and from what I'm hearing, even if he plays he won't be anywhere near 100%...very big news...

In regards to Kamara, I think it could also just be a case of Payton playing mind games.

You clearly aren’t familiar with the concept of #becausejaguars

Nah... opposing players have an inhuman ability to heal in time for game day when playing the Jags. I wouldn't worry.

He should stay at home, rest it up. Florida is really bad for ankle injuries!

If Minshew can get this win he gets the keys to the Ferrari.

Looks like the Kamara injury has moved the line to Jags by 3. According to my ESPN app anyway
