Jacksonville Jaguars Analysis
The Jaguars are coming into this game with a 1-5 record overall and they are 0-2 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. The Jags are coming into this game out of their bye week after winning their first game of the season, breaking the 5 game losing streak that they were on. They beat the Miami Dolphins in London, England 23-20 in their last game. That game was very close going back and forth all game but in the end it came down to who had the ball last and that would be the Jags as they won the game on a walk-off field goal. Trevor Lawrence played alright in that game as he completed 25/41 passes for 319 yards and 1 touchdown. James Robinson led the team in rushing with 73 yards and 1 touchdown on 17 carries. Marvin Jones had a nice day as he led the receivers with 100 yards and 1 touchdown on 7 receptions while Jamal Agnew had 78 yards on 5 receptions. Damien Wilson led the defense in that game with 9 solo tackles and 3 assisted ones. No one on the defense recorded a sack in that game but Nevin Lawson came away with the only interception for them in that one. They have scored 116 points in their 6 games this season averaging 19.3 PPG and they have allowed their opponents to score 172 points against them allowing 28.7 PPG Their offense is averaging 356 YPG while their defense is allowing 412.2 YPG.
Seattle Seahawks Analysis
The Seahawks are coming into this game with a 2-5 record overall and they are 0-3 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. The Seahawks have lost their last 3 games straight coming into this one and have not found their winning ways since their starting quarterback Russell Wilson went out with an injury. They lost to the Saints on Monday night 13-10 in a game that was very low scoring and saw no offense in it that could have gone either way. Ultimately, the Saints took that game with a fourth quarter field goal to break the tie and win it. Geno Smith played alright in that game but was not anything special as he completed 12/22 passes for 167 yards and 1 touchdown. Alex Collins led the team in rushing with 35 yards on 16 carries but they were not able to get anything going for them on the ground in that one. DK Metcalf led the receivers with 96 yards and the 1 touchdown they scored in that one. Bobby Wagner led the defense in that game with 5 solo tackles and 2 assisted ones while Quandre Diggs was right behind him with 5 solo tackles. Rasheem Green led the defense in sacks with 1 in that game while no one on the defense was able to come away with an interception for them. They have scored 150 points in their 7 games this season averaging 21.4 PPG and they have allowed their opponents to score 162 points against them allowing 23.1 PPG. Their offense is averaging 326.1 YPG while their defense is allowing 414.7 YPG.
Jaguars vs Seahawks Prediction
The Jags are coming into this game as a 3.5 point underdog with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Jags will have some momentum and confidence on their side coming into this one off of their first win of the season and they have had a bye week in between to prepare well for this game. The Seahawks have been trending in the opposite direction losing their last 3 straight and have still not found their first win without Russell Wilson in the game. This is a great opportunity for the Jags to pounce on this low hanging fruit and snatch away another win. The best bet to place in this game is on the Jags to cover the spread here and on the Jags to win this game straight up on the moneyline as they have been improving each week and are in a better spot to win this game than the Seahawks.
