Jaguars vs Saints NFL Preseason Predictions, Best Bets, Picks, Odds for Saturday 8/15/26

NFL Betting Picks in Summary

• Saints -2.5
• Spencer Rattler 20+ Passing Yards
• Under 34.5

Jacksonville and New Orleans close out Saturday's afternoon slate, and this is a genuinely different flavor of preseason game than most of the day's other matchups — both confirmed quarterbacks here are journeyman-caliber arms rather than headline starters or blue-chip rookies, which tends to shape this kind of game differently than one built around a marquee name.

NFL Predictions and Picks for Preseason Week 1

Jacksonville Jaguars at New Orleans Saints (Sat, 4 p.m. ET)

Saints -2.5 (-115)

New Orleans is favored on both the spread and the moneyline here, and with home-field advantage added on top, the short number looks like the more comfortable side to lean toward in a genuinely even-looking matchup on paper.

Spencer Rattler 20+ Passing Yards (+148)

Rattler has a confirmed live market and real game reps under his belt already. A plus-money price on clearing 20 yards is a fair number for a quarterback who's shown he can move an NFL offense.

Under 34.5 (-115)

This is the lowest total on the entire Saturday slate, and it makes sense given neither team has a marquee arm generating explosive-play upside today. Two backup-caliber quarterbacks working methodically tends to produce exactly this kind of number.
