It's more like they think Green Bay will run up the score and then coast, meaning lots of run plays.  Bortles will have to pass a ton in order to try and catch up.  Basically, bortles will get a bunch of garbage time points. 

So Rodgers would only earn 16 points by driving up the score while the Packers defense is assumed to collapse instead of getting one or the other pick from a scrambling Bortles?

I guess this could happen, but I wouldn't use it as the most likely outcome.

Not necessarily fall to pieces, more like the the second half the jags are doing nothing but passing and the packers are mostly running.  Bortles was a top 10 option at qb last year because he was always playing from behind.  Having a bad defense means more points for the passing players (qb's, WR, TE).  That is why some teams that aren't very good (jags, Saints, Falcons) have quite a few fantasy leaders.
