Betting on Russell Wilson may be a stretch when he faces the Jacksonville Jaguars in London on Sunday morning.
Russell Wilson missed Week 7 but intends to return from a hamstring injury. While he plans to play, hamstrings don’t hush easily and Wilson’s health is something to watch closely as his backup, Brett Rypien, represents a major drop-off.Denver was thrilled to obtain Wilson from the Seattle Seahawks in the offseason but it hasn’t been a happy honeymoon period. The Broncos are last in the NFL in scoring offense and Wilson has completed a career-worst 58.
The interesting thing is that second-year-pro Trevor Lawrence of the Jaguars will be the best quarterback on the field on Sunday. Expect him to come through and help Jacksonville end its skid and cover the spread.Lawrence passed for a season-best 310 yards in the latest loss. The contest ended with a pass to Christian Kirk, who was stopped at the Giants’ 1-yard line to add another loss to the Jacksonville ledger.
