Jaguars-Patriots Line Opens at NE -8.5 - 2018 Conference Championship

The Jaguars-Patriots line opened at New England -8.5 after Jacksonville for the second time this season beat the Pittsburgh Steelers at home.

While the Patriots were favorites to win this year's Super Bowl early on, Jacksonville was a long shot at 90-1 odds back in August.

The score was 42-28 just prior to the two minute mark of the 4th quarter before Le'Veon Bell scored a touchdown for Pittsburgh bringing this one within a touchdown.

Dave Mason of BetOnline noted Sunday that the house needed Jacksonville with nearly 60% of the action coming in on the Jaguars.
