This is the win-one-for-the-Coughlin game, as former Giants coach Tom Coughlin comes back to his old haunt in his front-office role for the Jaguars. A year ago on opening weekend, Jacksonville went into Houston under first-year coach Doug Marrone and lit up the Texans, 29-7. It was the first step in a journey that took the Jags all the way to a fourth-quarter lead over the Patriots in the AFC title game before they fell, 24-20.

Though the Giants gave Odell Beckham Jr. the highest salary ever for a wide receiver, the Jaguars feature the best pair of corners in the NFL with Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye.

The play: I liked the Giants early this summer, but Ramsey and Bouye are big reasons I am convinced now to take the Jags, -3.
