Jaguars vs. Broncos Key Player to Watch

Bo Nix, Quarterback, Denver Broncos

Bo Nix and the Broncos are thriving during his sophomore season. The second-year starter ranks ninth in the league with 3,256 passing yards and is tied for fifth with 23 touchdowns.

Nix threw for an impressive four touchdowns – for the second time this season – with no interceptions last week against the Packers. He now has 295 passing yards or more in three of his last four games, with 212 yards on 31 of 38 passing in the other contest.

While not everyone is in agreement that Nix is as good of a quarterback as the numbers show, there’s no arguing with Denver’s record this season. Nix has done everything necessary to help his team win football games, and that’s all that matters at the end of the day.

Jaguars vs. Broncos Prediction and Pick

The Broncos have certainly had a few scares during their long winning streak. They have two one-point wins, one two-point win, and three victories by three points. That’s six of 11 games decided by three points or fewer, which is what the line currently sits at.

The Jaguars haven't had a ton of impressive wins during their streak, but they did upset both the Colts and Chargers, winning both games by more than a score despite being underdogs.

I would probably buy the half point to get the Jaguars up to +3.5 (-127), but the +3 at -110 is just fine for now. This should be a great battle in Denver on Sunday afternoon.

Pick: Jaguars +3 (-110)
