Cincinnati Bengals vs Jacksonville Jaguars Odds

• Opening point spread: Jaguars -8
• Opening moneyline: Jaguars -400/Bengals +300
• Opening total: Over/Under 48 points scored
• Time: 8:15 p.m. ET Monday (ESPN/ABC)

UPDATE 4:30 P.M. ET MONDAY: With kickoff less than four hours out, Jacksonville is up to 10-point chalk at Fanatics/PointsBet. That's up from a -7.5 opener on Nov. 26, with the line reaching Jags -9.5 over the weekend and toggling between -9.5/-10 the past 36 hours.

Jacksonville is taking 71% of spread tickets, but a more modest 58% of spread dollars.

The total hasn't seen nearly as much movement, opening at 40.5, going to 40 and now at 41. The Over is seeing 53% of money, but 63% of cash is on the Under.

By ticket count, Travis Etienne Anytime TD is the most popular player prop tonight, with bettors backing the Jags running back at -145. By money count, Evan Engram Anytime TD is the top player prop, with the Jags tight end getting support at +270.

UPDATE 6 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: Jacksonville opened -7.5 and made a stop at -8 on the way to -8.5 at TwinSpires Sportsbook. Ticket count is 2/1-plus and money 4/1-plus on the Jags.

"The Jaguars are a very popular bet, especially in teasers. The Jags are our No. 1 teaser liability," Lucas said.

TwinSpires' total is already down 3 points at TwinSpires, from 41 to 38. The Under is taking 54% of tickets/65% of dollars.

"Sharp play on Under 41," Lucas said.

UPDATE 10 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Jacksonville (8-3 SU and ATS) dodged overtime by the circumference of the crossbar at Houston in Week 12. The Jags won 24-21 to cash as 1-point faves, clinching it when a Texans 58-yard field-goal attempt bounced off the crossbar.

Cincinnati (5-6 SU/4-6-1 ATS) is looking less and less likely to survive the loss of Joe Burrow (wrist injury). In Week 12, the Bengals were 2-point home 'dogs vs. Pittsburgh and lost 16-10.

"It was a bit of a struggle for Jake Browning today," Michaelson said of the Cincy QB, before getting to Bengals-Jags. "This game would likely be within a field goal with Burrow playing. But on Monday night, we're looking at one-way traffic on Jacksonville. I wouldn't be shocked if this line continued to go up."

So far, though, it hasn't. Jacksonville remains -8 in The SuperBook's NFL odds Week 13 market.
