Why Fulghum likes Drake Maye, Patriots vs. Jaguars (0:42)

Tyler Fulghum likes Drake Maye and the Patriots' matchup against the Jaguars' defense. (0:42)

Week 7 of the 2024 season get another early Sunday start as the Jacksonville Jaguars (1-5) face the New England Patriots (1-5) in their second straight game in London from Wembley Stadium at 9:30 a.m. ET. The Jaguars suffered a 35-16 loss in their first London game last week at the hands of the Chicago Bears.

Meanwhile, the Patriots lost their fifth straight game, a 41-21 defeat to the Houston Texans, in Drake Maye's first career start under center for New England. While both teams have struggled to start the season, one has a chance to come away with a victory before heading back to the states. The line for the game opened a Jaguars -4.5 but has since gone up to Jaguars -6 ahead of Sunday morning. The total has stayed the same at 41.5 points.

Betting analyst Tyler Fulghum breaks down his favorite bet for the Sunday morning matchup.

Tyler Fulghum's pick

Patriots +6 (-115)

Drake Maye did enough last week against the Texans to show me that the Patriots offense can finally be taken seriously. And when the Jaguars defense is on the other side, that's exciting. The Jags rank dead last (32nd) in the NFL in Defensive EPA and pass yards allowed per game. Caleb Williams just went across the pond and threw four TDs in the Bears' blowout win over Jacksonville. I think the Patriots are a live underdog to win this game outright, but I'll gladly take the points thinking Maye will have a lot of success against this putrid Jags defense.
