Jacksonville Jaguars vs New Orleans Saints
Opening point spread: Pick 'em
Opening moneyline: Saints -120/Jaguars +100
Opening total: Over/Under 42 points scored
Time: 8:15 p.m. ET Thursday (Prime)
When TwinSpires Sportsbook opened Jags-Saints, Jacksonville QB Trevor Lawrence's status was much less certain. New Orleans went up as a 3-point favorite.
Since then, the Saints have shorted to -2.5, -1.5 and now -1. That's due in large part to Lawrence, on Tuesday afternoon, indicating he was optimistic about playing Thursday night.
"A mix of sharp and public play on the Jags brought this line down," TwinSpires director of retail sports Zachary Lucas said.
The Jaguars are seeing 62% of early spread tickets/78% of early spread money. The total inched from 39.5 to 40 on two-way play with a lean toward the Over, at 52% of tickets/58% of dollars
