Jaguars vs Lions Prediction

Our model has the Lions coming out on top by a score of 32-15 in their week 11 matchup against the Jaguars. Even though the Lions are 3-7 and the Jaguars are 1-9, this point spread is a bit surprising, as the Jaguars are 13-point favorites. However, with the Jaguars at 1-9 and on a nine-game losing streak, we are going with the Lions to cover as home favorites.

For this game, we are leaning towards taking the under, with our projections pointing to a combined score of 47 points, just hitting the over/under line of 47.5.
