Jacksonville Jaguars

Established in 1995, the Jacksonville Jaguars are one of the league’s more recent expansion teams and one of only four teams that has never made it to the Super Bowl.

As one of three NFL teams in Florida, the Jaguars still command a loyal following both in terms of fans and sports betting action. And although Florida is unlikely to pass sports betting legislation in the near future, there are plenty of reasons gamblers in other parts of the country should take a closer look at the Jaguars for potentially profitable betting opportunities.

In this team guide, we’ll examine aspects of the Jacksonville Jaguars to help you not only learn about the franchise but hopefully make a few more winning bets on them this season, too.

Jacksonville Jaguars Team History

The Jacksonville Jaguars played their first game in 1995 when they joined the NFL with fellow expansion franchise the Carolina Panthers. The Jaguars have won their division three times, most recently in 2017 which ended a horrific ten-year span where the squad failed to make the post-season. In total, the Jaguars have made the playoffs seven times.

From 1995 to 2011 the team was owned by American businessman Wayne Weaver but was then sold to Shahid Khan who also owns the English soccer team Fulham F.C. as well as the professional wrestling league All Elite Wrestling (AEW).

The best stretch in franchise history took place from 1996-1999, where they made the playoffs every single year and advanced to the AFC Championship in 1999. The most recognizable names in franchise history include Fred Taylor, Jimmy Smith, Mark Brunell, and Maurice Jones-Drew.
