Jacksonville Jaguars tore through Cleveland Browns 34–10 in a statement win at EverBank Stadium. The Jaguars' defence was suffocating—holding the visitors to just 10 points—and the home side's attack capitalised on every opportunity. Coming off a 42–7 demolition of Indianapolis, the Jaguars showed no mercy against a Browns outfit coming off a 21-point loss to Pittsburgh.
The oddsmakers had Jacksonville as clear-cut favourites, and they delivered the goods. The line market played out differently: the Jaguars' 24-point margin of victory blew past the 8.5-point line, making it a painful outing for those backing Cleveland to keep it closer.
How the tips went
Jacksonville Jaguars to win at 1.25 — WIN. The pre-match favourite came through decisively. Form and home-ground advantage stacked the deck in Jacksonville's favour, and the pack's confidence in the Jaguars proved spot on.
Cleveland Browns +7.5 at 1.95 — LOSS. The Browns trailed by far more than the 7.5-point buffer, so the line selection went under. Jacksonville's defence was too tight and the offence too sharp; Cleveland never got close to covering the spread.
