The Denver Broncos and the Jacksonville Jaguars both lost to New York teams last week. In return, they’ll have to travel to London to try and bounce back with a win. 

Denver gets Russell Wilson back, who’s been stretching to keep himself loose as much as possible.

Meanwhile, the Jaguars traded running back James Robinson away to the New York Jets, gaving Travis Etienne Jr. the keys to the backfield.

There’s some hope in the air for both teams coming into this game, but who will be able to put their 4-game losing streaks to the side and get a win?

Broncos vs. Jaguars Odds, Spread and Total Movement in Week 8

The Broncos have moved from 3-point underdogs to 2.5-point underdogs. The total hasn’t moved, but it is tied for the lowest of the week. 

Broncos vs. Jaguars Best Bet and Prediction

Both teams are in a slide, but I just can’t bring myself to back the Broncos this week. They have the worst scoring offense in the league, Russell Wilson is coming off a hamstring injury that might limit his mobility and the Jaguars are London’s team, playing eight of the 10 years there.

However, Denver’s defense is ELITE. They have only allowed one team to score more than 17 points all season long and are giving up 15.6 points per game over the last three games. Jacksonville hasn’t been able to reach the offensive heights it did early in the season, and that concerns me. 

This total is extremely low, but with the struggles of both offenses and the fact that both of these defenses are top 10 in scoring, the UNDER is the right play.
