NFL Predictions and Picks for Preseason Week 1

Carolina Panthers at Jacksonville Jaguars (Fri, 7:30 p.m. ET)

Panthers -1.5 (-112)

With both quarterbacks playing real snaps, this comes down to the surrounding roster, and Carolina's short favorite status on the road reflects a fairly balanced read on the matchup.

Trevor Lawrence 20+ Passing Yards (+154)

Lawrence has a real market posted tonight, and a plus-money price on clearing 20 yards is a fair number for a proven starter getting genuine playing time.

Jonathon Brooks 10+ Rushing Yards, Drive 1 (+168)

Brooks is priced across both the first and second drive specifically, a real sign Jacksonville plans to get him extended touches early. A single 10-yard run is a low bar to clear across that much expected work.
