Default Re: Checked pocket jacks preflop in BB, agree or disagree?

Yeah, pocket jacks win unimproved often enough.

As for the set odds, you will often win much more in case you do flop a set. So your implied odds are much better than 7:1 here. You almost get immediate odds to draw to a set alone; therefore, a raise is clearly the best play.

An additional plus is that nobody raised, making it very unlikely anyone holds an overpair, or even two overcards, to your jacks.
