Jacksonville at New Orleans

Trevor Lawrence and Tyler Shough are both sitting out entirely on Saturday, with both coaching staffs using Thursday's joint practice as the real tune-up and turning the actual game over to the deep end of each roster. That flattens what should be a lopsided regular-season game into a genuine coinflip, and Jacksonville at plus money is getting paid for a gap that won't show up on the field. Liam Coen is leaning on Carter Bradley, Nick Mullens, and Joey Aguilar, none of them proven commodities, but New Orleans isn't sending out a finished product either. Spencer Rattler and Zach Wilson are still fighting for the job behind Shough, and neither has settled anything. With no established starters anywhere near this one, expect the kind of loose, mistake-prone football that comes from players fighting for roster spots rather than protecting a scheme. New Orleans' receiver room behind its top three is getting an extended run too, and that group has already flashed in camp throwing to Rattler. Backups pressing to make a 53-man roster don't play it safe, and defenses stocked with camp bodies who haven't practiced together give up exactly the kind of plays that push a preseason total past the number. Take Jacksonville on the moneyline and take the OVER Saturday afternoon.
