With the Jacksonville Jaguars Week 13 matchup being against the Los Angeles Rams, they receive a tough opponent during their search for a win. Jacksonville hasn't done much this year, but LA has struggled recently making this an intriguing contest. We take a look at this Jaguars-Rams game with some of our Jaguars' Week 13 predictions in mind.
The defense is coming together as they've flashed potential throughout the season. Josh Allen has been a monster rushing the passer and seems to be in the middle of his prime. If the Jaguars hope to defeat the Rams, they'll need Allen and the defense to be at the top of their game.
It's been a rough season for this offense. They've been hit with injuries and struggle to score consistently. However, with LA playing poorly, this is an opportunity for Jacksonville to strike. Look for Laquon Treadwell to improve off his last performance, while Trevor Lawrence potentially balls out. If that happens, the Jaguars could steal a win away from Los Angeles.
With that said, here are four bold Jaguars Week 13 predictions for their matchup against the Rams.

Jaguars Week 13 Predictions
4. Josh Allen records 3+ sacks on Matthew Stafford
Josh Allen has been a monster this year as he's clearly taken massive steps in his development. He's a key piece to the future success of this franchise and should be in for a big performance against the Rams. The Jaguars must find a way to get Allen going, as he'll give them a real shot at upsetting LA.
To do that, Jacksonville must scheme blitzes up the middle. The Rams' interior offensive line isn't the best and is the Achilles Heel of this offense. Look for the Jaguars to rush up the middle often with Josh Allen leading the way.
3. Laquon Treadwell leads the team in receiving with 75+ yards and 1 touchdown
Due to multiple injuries in the wide receiver room, Laquon Treadwell was able to make an impact in the Jaguars' last game. He led the team in receiving yards and is in line to repeat that performance. LA has one of the best secondaries in the league and they'll be all over Jacksonville's receivers. Even so, Treadwell has an opportunity to put up solid numbers on Sunday.
2. Trevor Lawrence records 3 total touchdowns and flashes his potential
Trevor Lawrence has been a bit of a disappointment so far in his rookie season, but he has plenty of time to bounce back. The Jaguars aren't likely to make the playoffs, so the coaching staff should open up the playbook a bit more and allow their rookie quarterback to sling it. With nothing to lose and a rookie quarterback developing, we should see Jacksonville conduct some aggressive play-calling against the Rams.
1. Jaguars pull off a massive upset over the Rams
This might come off as absurd, as the Rams are a substantially better team than the Jaguars. Even so, we've seen multiple big upsets this year and Los Angeles is on a major slump. Jacksonville has a prime opportunity to shock the world on Sunday.
To do so, everything has to come together. Josh Allen and the defense have to be on point and bother Matthew Stafford in the pocket. Additionally, Trevor Lawrence will have to spread the ball around and prove why he was selected as the first overall pick. This is a tough game for the Jaguars, but winning on Sunday is not impossible.
