The Jacksonville Jaguars are looking to finish the 2021 season with some momentum but it might prove to be tough, as they will next take on the New England Patriots at Foxborough.

The Jags are coming off their seventh straight loss while the Pats are still in contention for a playoff spot, so don’t expect them to take their foot off the pedal in Week 17. Here are the odds for the game and a final score prediction.

Jaguars vs. Patriots Week 17 final score prediction.

The Jaguars came close to beating the New York Jets in Week 16 but ultimately fell short. Keep in mind that both teams were missing players after experiencing COVID-19 outbreaks on the days before the game. However, Jacksonville had no answer for the Jets running game and couldn’t bring enough pressure to Zach Wilson. The difficulty level is going to turn up several notches against New England.

The Pats’ offense ranks 11th in points scored and they have the top defense in the league. They lost to the Buffalo Bills in Week 16 but that was mainly to the outstanding play of quarterback Josh Allen. The Jaguars have struggled against the run over the past seven weeks and that’s something the Patriots thrive in. They will try to wear down Jacksonville’s defense and will try to avoid putting too much on quarterback Mac Jones’ plate.

This won’t be an easy matchup and if the Jaguars want to keep up with New England, they will have to play better than they did against the Jets, which is a big ask. While there’s a chance this could turn out to be a competitive game, the Jags’ chances of winning are slim.

Final score: Jaguars 13 – Patriots 24
