Jaguars vs Saints Preseason Betting Prediction

The Jacksonville Jaguars and New Orleans Saints meet in Week 2 of the NFL preseason on August 16, in a matchup filled with intriguing betting angles. Historically, these two teams have produced high-scoring affairs when playing in New Orleans, with the total going over in five straight games in the Big Easy.

From a wagering perspective, this matchup is shaping up as a battle between Jacksonville’s push for preseason momentum and New Orleans’ desire to defend home turf despite recent struggles. The Jaguars’ ATS success in August cannot be overlooked, and their historical over trend against the Saints in New Orleans aligns with the Saints’ own history in this matchup. Still, given both teams’ defensive vulnerabilities, there’s a real possibility for points even in a preseason setting. Bettors looking at the total should keep a close eye on how both coaching staffs rotate quarterbacks and manage game plans, as those decisions often tilt preseason games one way or another.

Jaguars vs Saints Preseason Betting Prediction: Jacksonville

Jacksonville has been a surprisingly strong August performer against the spread, going 6-1 in their last seven preseason games during the month. However, their road struggles are difficult to ignore, with just one win in their last nine road contests. The Jaguars’ offense, which ranked near the bottom of the league in time of possession and rushing output last season, will be looking for preseason reps to iron out execution issues.

Jaguars vs Saints Preseason Betting Prediction: New Orleans

The Saints, meanwhile, have been equally inconsistent, especially against AFC competition where they’ve managed just a 1-6 record in their last seven games. Their defense gave up 238.5 passing yards per game (28th in the league) and 141.4 rushing yards per game (30th), making them vulnerable to balanced attacks. Even with those defensive shortcomings, the Saints have generally kept games low-scoring in recent months, hitting the under in five of their last seven games. However, when facing Jacksonville specifically, those trends have flipped, leading to a greater probability of an over result. For bettors, this creates a tricky balance between team-specific tendencies and historical head-to-head patterns.
