After a painful loss to the New York Jets in Week 16, the Jacksonville Jaguars are flying to Sin City to take on the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium. You would think that after being eliminated from playoff contention, they don't have much to play for, but that's not necessarily true.
Head coach Doug Pederson will try to show owner Shad Khan that he deserves to keep his job beyond 2024. A strong finish to the season would most definitely boost his case. On the other hand, players will be trying to make a strong impression. This will be particularly important for those with expiring contracts.
Another thing to keep an eye on is that the outcome of the game, dubbed the Travis Hunter Bowl, will have massive implications in the draft position for both teams. If the Jags will, they'll keep moving away from the No. 1 selection next year while a loss will get them closer. WIth that in mind, here's a how you can watch or stream this bout later today.

Jaguars vs. Raiders recent outcomes:
The Jaguars are 6-4 against the Raiders all-time. The last time these two teams faced off against each other was in 2022. At the time, Jacksonville was 3-6 and with a slim chance of qualifying for the postseason. However, a win over the Silver & Black was the beginning of what turned out to be a playoff run.
What made the win even sweeter was that Jacksonville was trailing 20-10 by halftime but managed to bounce back and beat the Raiders 27-20.
