My Expert Pick

Despite recent losses, I believe the Patriots, led by Drake Maye, can pose a significant threat. The Jaguars’ weak defense ranking as a potential advantage for the Patriots. While the Patriots could be seen as potential outright winners, I am content to take the points, expecting Maye to perform well against the Jaguars’ defense.

My Pick: New England Patriots +6

Recent Betting Trends

Historically, the Patriots have struggled to beat the spread in their last four games, while the Jaguars have failed to cover the spread in their recent games as favorites. However, London games over the past two seasons have mostly seen unders. Both teams need to overcome their less-than-stellar against-the-spread (ATS) records to claim victory in this game.

My Pick: Under 41.5
