The message coming from Duval County has been loud and clear: The Jacksonville Jaguars are all-in to win the Super Bowl this season.
Maybe no team improved more at the NFL trade deadline than the Jaguars. On Monday, they started the day by adding Pro Bowl safety Jessie Bates III from Atlanta. They ended the day by acquiring 336-pound run-stuffing monster Jordan Davis, a former first round pick who's still just 26-years-old. In between, they traded for another defensive tackle, Davon Godchaux, who's more of a depth piece than a front-line player like Bates or Davis.
And now Jacksonville (6-2), which already held a commanding three-game lead in the AFC South and owned the best point differential in the league (+108) after Week 9, has become the Super Bowl futures bet du jour. The Jaguars are down to +750 at DraftKings to win the Super Bowl, behind only the 49ers (+540) and Bills (+600). That's down from +850 on Monday morning and the biggest move of any team.
But Super Bowl champions are crowned in February -- not November -- and SportsLine's Forecasts and Projections say that Jacksonville is a bad bet at that price. Instead, the numbers say there's clear value on another contender.
