Punters locking in their Week 3 NFL multis at EverBank Stadium witnessed a comprehensive performance on Monday, 28 Sept, as the Jacksonville Jaguars cruised to a dominant 35–6 victory over the New England Patriots. Heading into the fixture, the market had the Jaguars installed as favourites at 1.62 in head-to-head betting and carrying a -2.5 line at 1.8, while the Patriots sat as 2.31 outsiders.
That pre-match confidence from punters proved entirely justified as the home side tore through the contest. The Jaguars bring a strong overall profile into this stretch of the season, sitting on a ladder record with 5 wins and 2 losses, while the Patriots arrived with 5 wins and 3 losses. But on this particular arvo, it was all Jacksonville from the opening whistle to the final siren.
How the match unfolded
The story of the match was the sheer defensive lockdown by the Jaguars coupled with a clinical offensive display. New England simply struggled to find any rhythm against a suffocating Jacksonville unit, managing just 6 points for the entire outing. Meanwhile, the Jaguars capitalised on their opportunities, piling on the points to secure a resounding 29-point margin.
For a side coming off some mixed mixed-venue form across their last five overall outings—which included recent wins like their 42–7 victory over the Indianapolis Colts—this performance was a statement of intent. The total points market closed with a line of 46.5 points at 1.9 for both the over and under, and the under ultimately collected comfortably as the Patriots' scoreless-touchdown struggles kept the overall scoring well below the line.
How the tips went
It was a successful outing for punters following the official selections on the blog, with both published plays getting the chocolates in style.
The head-to-head selection on the Jacksonville Jaguars at 1.62 was a win, as the hosts comfortably accounted for the visitors. Additionally, the line selection on Jacksonville Jaguars -2.5 at 1.8 was a win, easily covering the minor handicap well before the final whistle blew on a 35–6 scoreline.
