After showing promise early in the 2022 season, the Jacksonville Jaguars have come crashing down and have lost four games in a row. Rightfully, fans are growing weary, tired of false promises and hope. They want to see results after having been reassured for more than ten years that the Jags are close to turning the corner.

On the bright side, the Jaguars currently have the most talent they had in a while and a Super Bowl-winning head coach in Doug Pederson. Sure, Jacksonville can no longer talk about potential or upside but they have the chance to change the narrative and they can do it as soon as Week 8 when they’ll travel to London to face off against the Denver Broncos.

While it won’t be an easy game (most aren’t), the Jaguars are favored to win. With this in mind, here are five reasonable predictions for Week 8 at Wembley Stadium.

5. Jaguars LB Devin Lloyd will snag an interception vs. the Broncos

As recently as Week 3, linebacker Devin Lloyd was

the frontrunner for the NFL’s Defensive Rookie of the Year award

. However, his candidacy has cooled down a bit since then. He did have an interception against the New York Giants in Week 7 but it was called back by a roughing the passer call in the same play.

Lloyd will have the chance to get back in the thick of the DPOY discussion with a solid outing against the Broncos, which is precisely what he will do when he registers his third pick of the 2022 season.
