Steelers vs. Jaguars Odds
Game Preview
There was a minor altercation during the recent Steelers training camp. Now, this is a sign that Tomlin’s boys have plenty of energy, but the question is whether it’s a positive or negative.
Nevertheless, Pittsburgh has high ambitions this year, as they have Aaron Rodgers at the QB position. The four-time NFL MVP also stated that he’s willing to play as much as it takes during the preseason.
The Jags have to see who’s going to be Lawrence’s replacement. Nick Mullens has the best chance, but other contenders are willing to push hard during the preseason, like John Wolford and Sth Henigan.
Everyone wants to see the hybrid WR/CB, Travis Hunter, who will probably play a lot on both ends of the field during the preseason. He needs to adjust to the NFL fast.
Steelers vs. Jaguars Head to Head
Believe it or not, the Jags lead the series, 15-13. They also won the previous match, in late October 2023, triumphing on the road, 20-10.
Steelers vs. Jaguars Predictions
The Steelers’ defense is packed, and even if Lawrence plays, they will have an edge over the Jags. This is the sole reason why we pick the guests to win.
