Jaguars Tied For AFC's 9th Best Super Bowl Odds For 2024-25 Season
This time a year ago, the Jacksonville Jaguars were a trendy pick to represent the AFC in Super Bowl LVIII. Don't expect the same treatment this year.
According to initial odds from BetOnline, the Jaguars are tied with the Cleveland Browns for the AFC's ninth-best odds for next year's Super Bowl winners at 33/1.
The AFC teams in front of the Jaguars are:
- Kansas City Chiefs (11/2)
- Baltimore Ravens (12/1)
- Buffalo Bills (12/1)
- Cincinnati Bengals (16/1)
- Miami Dolphins (18/1)
- New York Jets (20/1)
- Los Angeles Chargers (22/1)
- Houston Texans (25/1)
Considering three of the teams in front of the Jaguars didn't even make the playoffs a year ago, it shows just how far out of favor the Jaguars fell in the public's eye in 2023.
After an 8-3 start to the season, the Jaguars lost five of their last six games to end the season at 9-8 and in second place in the AFC South, all while missing the playoffs altogether. Now, the Jaguars have internal questions of how to upgrade the roster while also trying to catch up to the Texans at the same time.
“I don’t live with regrets. That’s not how I operate. Are there decisions you look back on and say, ‘What if we would’ve done this? What if we would’ve done that?’ Should’ve, would’ve and could’ve all got beat," Jaguars general manager Trent Baalke said last week.
"You do the best you can, we felt we had a pretty competitive football team coming back. We still feel we have a competitive football team coming back. The season didn’t go our way. There were four teams left a week ago. We beat two of those teams, we lost a one-score game to another one and another one we were down by three points with four minutes left in the third quarter. We felt we had a competitive football team. We didn’t win the number of games we wanted to win and that’s on all of us, me included. Look no further than here. There’s some things that we have to do, we recognized it and we’re making those changes as we go.”
