ENTER NOW!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After playing at home in two straight weeks, the Jaguars head out to their second home \u2014 London, England \u2014 for their 14th international game since 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a long haul for both sides, but it beats the travel schedule the Rams have had in the past three weeks: from Southern California, to the Mid-Atlantic, and now across the pond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>L.A. earned a 14-point win in Week 6 against Baltimore, but it wasn&#8217;t as encouraging as that might sound at first blush. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Rams only scored 17 points against what has been a miserable Ravens defence, which had allowed an NFL-high 29.5 PPG entering the matchup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Despite only scoring three points, Baltimore finished ahead of L.A. in time of possession, first downs, total yards and yards per kick\/punt return.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Puka Nacua left the game with a sprained ankle and didn&#8217;t return. Obviously, the absence of the NFL&#8217;s receptions leader would be significant on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time of this writing, it&#8217;s too soon to know if Nacua will be available. He&#8217;s been deemed &#8220;day-to-day,&#8221; but with a bye week to follow, it&#8217;d be no surprise if the Rams kept him on the shelf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jacksonville is 4-1 SU in its past five home games, with a pair of upset wins in that span.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: The Jaguars have won straight up as underdogs in two of their past three games (vs. Chiefs, at 49ers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:119263\">Embed: #119263<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/american_football?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_campaign=sportsbook_nfl\">Full NFL markets<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nfl\/standingshttps:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nfl?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_campaign=sportsbook_nfl\">NFL player &amp; team stats<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/nfl-injury-report\"><strong>NFL injury report<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-fa134a48-a478-432b-95e0-66881f0d337b\">NFL underdog predictions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Buccaneers moneyline (+195):<\/strong> I still have a ton of respect for the Lions despite their dud of an effort on Sunday Night Football this past week (a 30-17 loss in Kansas City). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But how can you not love what the Bucs are up to right now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MVP chants are growing louder for quarterback Baker Mayfield, who has led four fourth-quarter comebacks already to lift Tampa Bay to a 5-1 start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scary part of this upset pick is that Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin and Bucky Irving are all expected to miss the game. And Mike Evans, who hasn&#8217;t played since Week 3, is a question mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Mayfield has figured it out with a skeleton crew to this point, and his defence is built to disrupt Detroit&#8217;s run-heavy approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tampa Bay&#8217;s run defence ranks No. 1 in EPA and No. 4 in success rate, per RBSDM.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Detroit has a banged-up secondary and is just two weeks removed from allowing 24 points to the Jake Browning-led Bengals.
