NFL WEEK 1 FREE PICK: Take the Jaguars. Jacksonville is 11-2 ATS L13 in Week 1. Vikes are 0-4 ATS L4 home games. Mike Mularkey takes over for a Jags team that needed to spruce up his offense. There were significant improvement in the preseason thanks to an improved QB Blaine Gabbert and the addition of rookie WR Justin Blackmon. Both running backs may be limited here as Maurice Jones-Drew (holdout) will back up Rashad Jennings, who averaged 5.4 ypc last year. Minnesota RB Adrian Peterson (ACL) will likely be limited even if he plays at all. Jacksonville’s defense is led by LB Paul Posluszny, who posted 192 tackles last year. The Jags’ defense won’t be tested very often against a poor Minnesota offense. Jags get the win on the road.
