Both teams are looking for their first win of the preseason, with Jacksonville losing to Cleveland 23-13 in a game that went UNDER, and New Orleans staying UNDER in a 17-14 loss to Baltimore. NFL coaches are playing it close to the vest this preseason, not wanting to risk injuries to their key players, and the games are overwhelmingly going UNDER. Saints coach Sean Payton is 28-23-3 UNDER in the preseason, including nine of the last 12, and new coach Urban Meyer of the Jaguars is focusing on evaluating his players rather than putting up big numbers on offense. Taysom Hill and Jameis Winston are battling for the starting job for New Orleans, and No. 1 pick Trevor Lawrence and Gardner Minshew are doing the same for Jacksonville although it's only a matter of time before Lawrence takes over. The Jaguars had just 120 yards of offense in the first half against the Browns and Lawrence had a shaky start. Take the UNDER.
