Jaguars remain home favorites over Patriots for Week 3 despite Broncos loss

FanDuel and DraftKings both install Jacksonville as the pick for Sept. 27 even as New England enters healthier off a 20-3 win over Pittsburgh.

What to know

  • Both teams enter Week 3 at 1-1: Patriots beat Steelers 20-3, Jaguars lost 20-13 to the Broncos.
  • Sportsbooks (FanDuel, DraftKings) favor Jacksonville despite New England's more recent win, largely due to home-field advantage at EverBank Stadium.
  • Dimers' simulation model gives the Patriots just a 39.3% chance to win and recommends betting the Jaguars moneyline.
  • New England enters shorthanded, missing A.J. Brown (ankle) and possibly losing guard Michael Onwenu to a season-ending injury.
