First and foremost, it’s been quite a while since we could comfortably use the term “trap game” when speaking about a Jacksonville Jaguars opponent, but here we are.
In short, a trap game is a matchup in which a team is expected to beat its opponent, and thus may overlook them come Sunday or not prepare as thoroughly during the practice week.
For the first time since 2007, the Jaguars have a 2-1 record. Doug Marrrone’s team has dominated in the two victories, outscoring opponents 73-14 in the wins. Jacksonville is also favored on the road for the first time since 2011, as the Jaguars will take on the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in Week 4.
