Jacksonville Jaguars vs NY Jets Prediction
I’ll stay with Jacksonville. The Jaguars didn’t really get going until the fourth quarter in their last game, ultimately notching 291 total yards with 16 first downs and two turnovers. The Jacksonville defense gave up 272 yards and 17 first downs on the other side, holding Tennessee to a pair of field goals. That said, the Jags have seven or fewer points in two of the last four games (a 1-3 run) so they may have to rely on defense once again this Sunday.
As for the Jets, last Sunday they found yet another way to lose, giving up an OT touchdown pass for the six-point loss. New York committed 10 penalties for 83 yards in that one, but the offense didn’t look too bad on paper with 402 yards and 23 first downs. That said, the Jets’ once-fearsome defense has given up 26 or more points in four straight games. The Jaguars can pull this one off if they play to their capabilities.
