Forecasting every remaining Jacksonville Jaguars NFL game
The Jacksonville Jaguars will have some tough games to close the season.
The Titans and the Colts the ‘Jags’ will face in the second half of the season. When they take on the Baltimore Ravens, they will play against defensive end Yannick Ngakoue, whom the team sent packing to Minnesota in the offseason. The Vikings decided the former Jacksonville defensive end was a good fit and ended up trading him to the Ravens.
Ngakoue has recorded five sacks, two forced fumbles, and 13 tackles, five of them for a loss, in 2020. We think he will be incentivized to show the Jaguars that trading him was a mistake. Prediction: Jaguars 17, Ravens 24 (L)
The Chicago Bears are one competent quarterback away from making a deep playoff run. The team’s brass gave Mitchell Trubisky plenty of time to show he could be the face of the franchise.
Nevertheless, Trubisky failed to seize the opportunity and is now backing up Nick Foles, whom ‘Jags’ fans should be familiarized with. Whoever can stop the Bears offense has a strong chance to beat them. This Jacksonville team should earn another win on this one. Prediction: Jaguars 27, Bears 20 (W)
The Jaguars won their only game of the 2020 season against the Colts in Week 1. Indianapolis is home for a good team that should be vying for a playoff spot by Week 17. However, the Colts have a fatal flaw, quarterback Phillip Rivers penchant for living and dying by the deep ball.
The Jaguars may no make it to the playoff this year, but if they don’t they avoid turning the ball over and score enough points, they could do the next best thing, spoiling the Colts chances of qualifying to the postseason. Prediction: Jaguars 24, Colts 21 (W)
