In this article we will formulate a Saints vs Jaguars prediction for this NFL game on Saturday, August 15th at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this preseason matchup.
New Orleans Saints Betting Preview
The New Orleans Saints went 6-11 last season and they finished last in the NFC South, which was two games behind the Panthers for first. The Saints started the season with four straight losses, before defeating the Giants, which was followed by another four game losing streak. New Orleans was 1-8 through nine games, but they won five of the next seven games, before dropping the finale to the Falcons. The Saints were solid on defense at the end of the season, allowing 20 points or fewer in four of their last five. New Orleans scored 18.0 points per game in 2025, while they allowed 22.5 points against per game on defense.
Last season, New Orleans went 0-2-1 in the preseason, which was second in the NFC South. The Saints lost to the Chargers by a score of 27-13, tied the Jaguars 17-17, and lost to the Broncos 28-19 in their three preseason games. New Orleans won’t play their starters in this game, so we will see Spencer Rattler and Zach Wilson at quarterback, with Rattler getting the start.
Jacksonville Jaguars Betting Preview
The Jacksonville Jaguars were 13-4 last year and they finished first in the AFC South, which was one game better than Houston in second. Jacksonville started the season with a 4-3 record through seven games, but they won nine of their last ten games. The Jaguars finished by winning each of their last eight games in the regular season and they allowed 20 points or fewer in seven of those eight. Jacksonville lost to the Bills by a score of 27-24 in the playoffs. The Jaguars scored 27.9 points per game in 2025, while they allowed 19.8 points against per game on defense.
Last year, Jacksonville went 0-2-1 in the preseason, which was last in the AFC South. The Jaguars lost to the Steelers by a score of 31-25, tied the Saints 17-17, and lost to the Dolphins 14-6 in their three preseason games. Jacksonville will also rest their starting quarterback, so we will see Carter Bradley, along with Nick Mullens and Joey Aguilar, under center.
Saints vs Jaguars Prediction
Jacksonville had a very successful 2025 season and they will look to start with a strong performance here. The Jaguars aren’t as good at the backup quarterback spots in my opinion, as Bradley and Aguilar are just average. New Orleans played great over the last two months of last season and they have decent expectations coming into this year. The Saints have a pretty decent quarterback situation, as Rattler and Wilson both have experience. Take the Saints to win here, as I think Wilson makes a few big plays in the second half.
