The Jacksonville Jaguars traveled across the country in September to blowout the Los Angeles Chargers by 28 points, but oddsmakers don’t like their chances of doing it again.
At BetMGM, the Jaguars opened as a 2.5-point underdog for their playoff game against the Chargers at TIAA Bank Field.
The Jaguars and Chargers have never met in the postseason before, but the two teams have faced each other 10 times since 2010. Jacksonville was 0-5 on the road against the Chargers before winning this season in Week 3. The Jaguars are 3-4 all-time at home against the Chargers.
Jacksonville’s 38-10 win over Los Angeles in Week 3 comes with some caveats. Quarterback Justin Herbert was struggling with a rib cartilage fracture suffered in Week 2 and he was without star receiver Keenan Allen. On the other side of the ball, defensive end Joey Bosa played only 13 snaps before suffering a groin injury that kept him out for three months.
Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence finished that win with 262 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions.
