Action PRO's "blowout" betting angle is live with a pick for the Week 7 London Game.
The Jacksonville Jaguars and New England Patriots clash at Wembley Stadium, the second straight London game for Jacksonville. Both teams enter with identical records of 1-5, desperate for a win to turn their fortunes around.
The spotlight will be on Patriots' rookie quarterback Drake Maye, who threw for 265 yards, 3 TDs and 2 INTs in his debut as a starter last week. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars are favorites, laying 6 points against the spread, with the over/under set at 42 points for the international matchup.
Both teams were whacked a week ago – but there's a smart play to be made this week.

Spread
The Jaguars are -6.
Over/Under
The market is expecting about 42 total points according to the over/under market. Both teams flew over the total last game.
Moneyline
The moneyline for Week 7 sets the Jaguars at -265 and the Patriots +215.
Player Prop
One of PRO Projections best calls of the year was nailing Patriots wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk +800 to score a touchdown in Week 3.
Polk's odds to score a touchdown in Week 7 are +600. The price implies about a 15.3% chance the rookie WR finds the end zone.
Action PRO models give Polk about a 17% chance to score – a 1.7% edge. As always, PRO Projections recommend a 3.5% grade or better before firing on a projection edge.
Jaguars vs. Patriots Prediction
PRO Systems' blowout-style betting angle provides the best bet against the spread for Sunday's October 20 London Game.
Point Spread
One may wonder: Do either the Jags or Patriots — two of the worst teams in football — have what it takes to blow out the other? That's not exactly the core principle of the betting system.
While it may be tough to pinpoint when a blowout will happen, we have proprietary betting data that shows when to bet teams off blowout losses.
In fact, both the Patriots and Jaguars had their doors blown off last Sunday: New England 41-21 to Houston, and Jacksonville 35-16 to Chicago.
