Saints v Jaguars NFL betting tips – Thursday Night Football
As we head into Week 7 of the NFL season, all eyes are on the Thursday night clash between the 3-3 New Orleans Saints and the 4-2 Jacksonville Jaguars. The stage is set for an intriguing showdown. Here are our top NFL betting tips for the October 20 matchup.
Saints vs Jaguars line betting tip
The Saints have faced their share of offensive struggles this season, but this game presents a golden opportunity. They’ll be up against a Jaguars defence that has allowed the most passing yards in the league. New Orleans, while only surpassing 20 points once this season, should find their rhythm against this vulnerable defence. With a formidable defence of their own, the Saints are poised to contain a potent Jaguars offence and cover the spread in this pivotal home game.

Chris Olave total receiving yards tip
Sophomore standout Chris Olave has been a shining star for the Saints this season. Barring a brief stint nursing an injury, he’s consistently surpassed this mark in every game, racking up over 85 yards in four matchups. Facing a leaky Jaguars pass defence, Olave is primed to easily surpass this yardage total, solidifying his status as an elite wide receiver.

Derek Carr total interceptions tips
While Jacksonville’s pass defence has been shaky, they’ve managed to snag eight interceptions in six games, thanks to their ball-hawking secondary. Saints QB Derek Carr has been reliable this season, but he’s thrown three picks in six games. Considering the likely heavy passing in this matchup, the odds of Carr throwing another interception are too enticing to ignore.

Saints vs Jaguars anytime touchdown tip
Running against the Saints has proven to be a futile endeavour, as they’ve conceded just one rushing touchdown all season. This may prompt the Jaguars to rely on their passing game, potentially opening doors for their top target, Calvin Ridley. While Ridley has only found the end zone twice this season, he’s a frequent target in the red zone. At +200 with the top NFL bookmakers, this bet offers exceptional value.
