Raiders, Jaguars Kick Off NFL Preseason Thursday. Football games are the most heavily wagered events in the country. Last NFL game was the Feb. 13 Super Bowl between the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals. Louisiana Gaming Control Board Chairman Ronnie Johns is confident that this coming fall's betting numbers will be substantial.
Josh McDaniels is the new head coach of the Raiders. He played high school football in Canton, Ohio. The team went 10-7 last season, but lost in the first playoff round to the Bengals. This season's Super Bowl is on February 12 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
Jaguars are rebuilding their team after losing 10 games in 2017. Doug Pederson, who won a Super Bowl with the Eagles, took over the team. Travon Walker, a 6-foot-5, 275-pound outside linebacker from Georgia, was drafted No. 1 overall. The team also needs to improve Trevor Lawrence's performance.
