Jaguars seek better results against Saints

The Jacksonville Jaguars did not explode the first week of the preseason. The Jaguars only seated seven players in the first week of preseason, the second short of all teams According to NFL analyst Warren Sharp.

And the Jaguars still looked bad.

An apathetic 23-13 loss to the Cleveland Browns might not mean anything, but it wasn’t a good start to the Urban Meyer era. He promised that is not what the Jaguars will be after the games count.

“I’ve heard so much, ‘We can’t show this, can’t show that, can’t show that,'” Meyer told News 4 Jax. “I don’t want to go into it, but I want to go a bit and I’m used to some things. You will see more of it as we go along.

The Jaguars are 4-point underdogs at BetMGM against the New Orleans Saints for Monday night’s game, the last of week two of preseason.

Since the Jaguars took Game 1 relatively seriously, in terms of who would play, the same will likely happen on Monday night. Meyer didn’t seem happy about losing preseason games, so maybe there will be a different strategic focus. Maybe we’ll see rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence for an extended period. Maybe all of this will help.

The Saints are still trying the quarterfinals, deciding between Taysom Hill and Jameis Winston, giving them an advantage on Monday night. The Saints seem to be the right game if you like betting preseason football. And if the Jaguars don’t look good anymore, we can only hope Meyer is right and the regular season will be much different.

Here’s a first look at Monday’s sports betting list:

EPL soccer ends the second week of the season

There is an English Premier League match on Monday afternoon as West Ham United face Leicester City at 3 p.m. EST. West Ham is a slight favorite at BetMGM on the three-way line at +150. Leicester City is +180 and a draw is +240. Both teams won their opener.

The EPL season is in its second week and it adds a nice option to the betting menu.

Seven games for the MLB

There is a short schedule for Monday in Major League Baseball. There’s a game in the afternoon, as the Texans Rangers and Boston Red Sox catch up with a game postponed to 1:10 p.m. ET. Texas are playing Boston and heading straight for Cleveland, a tough travel situation. The Red Sox are rightly a -300 favorite.

Two great series starts, as the Chicago White Sox face the Toronto Blue Jays (the White Sox are favorites at -115 in Game 1) and the New York Yankees face the Atlanta Braves. Both teams are on a nine-game winning streak and both teams are -110.

Who cashed the tickets this weekend?

No one conceded anything in golf on Sunday as the last Northern Trust round was postponed to Monday due to the weather. This gives bettors a chance to get some action before the final round. Leader Jon Rahm has +140 at BetMGM.

The Braves and Yankees continue to cash in for punters, and the Cincinnati Reds also swept this weekend, winning all four over the Miami Marlins.

Oh, and the Baltimore Orioles lost their 18th straight game on Sunday. Saturday’s 5-4 loss was the only one-point loss in the streak, surprisingly enough. All the other losses were my multiple runs.

What is the best bet?

The Colorado Rockies are +105 against the terrible Chicago Cubs, who were just swept away at home by the Kansas City Royals. The Rockies were terrible on the road early in the season, but they’ve been better lately. If the Cubs are favored in any game for the rest of the season, we will eliminate the underdog on principle.
