The Detroit Lions (1-0) welcome the Jacksonville Jaguars (1-0) to Ford Field Saturday for preseason Week 2 action. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET (NFL Network). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s'lines around the Jaguars vs. Lions odds, and'make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Jags went on the road to Dallas beat the Cowboys 28-23 in their preseason opener. Rising star QB Trevor Lawrence played 2 series, going 5 of 6 for 36 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT. QB Nathan Rourke got most of the action, passing for 153 yards and 1 TD on 17 attempts. Third-round pick RB Tank Bigsby had 9 carries for 52 yards. Expect similar splits from the starters in Week 2.
The Lions took a more conservative approach to their Week 1 game against the New York Giants. Detroit won 21-16, outscoring New York 18-3 in the 2nd half. The Lions were led by QB Nate Sudfeld, who went 15-for-28 for 194 yards and 2 INTs. First-round pick RB Jahmyr Gibbs ran 6 times for 19 yards and caught 1 pass for 18 yards, a good showing for the rookie. I would expect to see some action from the starters, like QB Jared Goff, in Week 2.
