Jacksonville was trailing 10-0 early in the 2nd quarter but the offense then exploded for 22 points in the half. Trevor Lawrence was efficient in this matchup completing 15 of 20 pass attempts for a touchdown. Tank Bigsby led the rush attack with 118 yards on 26 carries for 2 touchdowns. The defense held New England to 2.5 yards per carry but Drake Maye had 276 pass yards and 2 touchdowns. The Jaguars couldn’t force a turnover and had 2 sacks.

Packers vs. Jaguars Prediction:

There are 2 key injuries to look out for on the Packers defense. Linebacker Quay Walker is currently questionable as he works his way through concussion protocol. He did log in limited practices on Thursday and Friday but still needs to be cleared. Walker is the leading tackler for the Packers defense and missing him would open the field more for Tank Bigsby who is averaging 6.2 yards per carry. Sack leader Devonte Wyatt is questionable with an ankle injury but logged three limited practices this week.

I think both of these players will be able to go on Sunday and I like the Packers to cover the 3.5 point spread in this matchup. I am not going to let a 32-16 win over the Patriots make me think the Jags are all of a sudden a good team. The defense is the third worst in the league allowing 28 points per game. They are the third worst in opponent yards per pass attempt allowing 7.6 yards. Jordan Love has struggled with interceptions this season but Jacksonville only has one interception all season. The Packers lead the league in takeaways per game and have 9 interceptions on the season. They are 10th in points allowed giving up 20.4 per game going. Take the Pack to cover on the road. 

Packers vs. Jaguars Prediction: Packers -3.5
