5. What’s your prediction for the game?

"I think the Broncos’ defense comes out swinging in this one, forcing some early turnovers and getting the offense the help it needs to push the Broncos to a gritty win."

My take:

Sayre opted not to go with a score here but he says the Broncos are going to win and history is on his side. As mentioned at the beginning of the article, Gus Bradley is incapable (among many things) of fielding a team that can beat a winning team. The Broncos are over 0.500 so the precedent is already set for Sunday’s game.

That said, it might actually be a gritty game if Siemian can’t go and the Broncos have to start Paxton Lynch. The rookie quarterback was thrown into action once this season and he didn’t fare so well against the Atlanta Falcons. If the Jaguars can get pressure, they should actually keep this game close for a little while.

Are the Jaguars going to show up and put up a decent fight on Sunday? Check out my Friday Fact or Fiction column tomorrow to find out.
