The Jacksonville Jaguars Week 1 matchup against the Washington Commanders will have some interesting elements to it. The most notable one will be Carson Wentz facing off against the team that kept him out of the playoffs in 2021.
Additionally, Doug Pederson will get the chance to restart his NFL career against a familiar foe after spending time in the NFC East with the Philadelphia Eagles. While there he was 6-4 against Washington, but much has changed in the division since. Additionally, he’ll be going against a player in Wentz who he knows very well, as the young quarterback started his young career with Pederson as his first NFL head coach.
However, according to Tipico Sportsbook, the Jags are currently +3.5-point underdogs for their road trip to FedEx Field. The over/under, it’s set at a 43.5 figure for the season opener.
