JACKSONVILLE, Fl. – The Jacksonville Jaguars are starting the 2022 season as underdogs, as online sportsbooks have given the Washington Commanders -160 odds to win and -110 odds to cover a 3-point spread.
The two teams have not faced each other since the 2018 season when the Commanders pulled off a 3-point victory. The new look Commanders went 7-9-1 ATS in 2021 but have an upgrade at QB with Carson Wentz.
Wentz may have led Indianapolis to a disappointing 2021 season, but managed to lead the Colts to a 2021 spread record of 10-7, giving value to the Commander’s three-point spread to cover against the Jags.
