Why The Jaguars Could Cover The Spread

The Jaguars are on fire right now, and staying alive due to a powerful, resilient offense. Lawrence has completed 66 percent of his passes and has a quarterback rating of 96.6. Likewise, he has passed for 3520 yards, 24 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. Etienne has rushed 182 times for 917 yards, and four touchdowns, while catching 27 passes for 238 yards. Meanwhile, Kirk has caught 73 passes for 966 yards and seven touchdowns. Jones has 74 receptions for 764 yards and five touchowns. Additionally, Engram has 61 catches for 610 yards and four touchdowns.

The defense has played inconsistently. However, they showed up when it mattered last Sunday. Josh Allen has 52 solo tackles and 10 sacks. Also, Jenkins has 59 solo tackles and three interceptions. Foyesade Oluokin has 111 solo tackles and one sack. Ultimately, the defense will have the advantage as the weather conditions make for an ugly environment on Thursday night. The Meadowlands likely will see strong winds and plenty of rain.

The Jaguars will cover the spread if Lawrence can find his open receivers regardless of the weather. Significantly, it might be time to tone down the deep passes and open up some easier throws.

Why The Jets Could Cover The Spread

The Jets are 7-7 mainly due to the play of its defense. However, the offense can play and will face a defense that will give them chances to score if they can capitalize.

Wilson has completed 54.9 percent of his throws with a 75.3 quarterback rating. Additionally, he has passed for 1596 yards, six touchdowns, and six interceptions. The Jets have struggled to move the ball since Bryce Hall tore his ACL and James Robinson has not fit into the lineup well. Therefore, it's Michael Carter's turn, especially after the injury to Knight. Carter has rushed 108 times for 390 yards on a 3.6 yards-per-carry rate with three touchdowns. Moreover, he has caught 32 passes for 240 yards. Receiver Wilson has 67 receptions for 966 yards and four touchdowns. Meanwhile, Corey Davis has 26 receptions for 460 yards and two scores. Tyler Conklin has caught 46 passes for 425 yards and three touchdowns.

The defense is strong. However, they did not have Quinnen Williams last weekend. Williams has 31 solo tackles and 11 sacks. Additionally, Quincy Williams has 54 solo tackles and two sacks. Sauce Gardner has been an amazing cornerback with 40 solo tackles and two interceptions.

The Jets will cover the spread if they can run the ball efficiently and keep Lawrence off the field. Likewise, they also must not make mistakes on offense.

Final Jaguars-Jets Prediction & Pick

The conditions will make this game interesting. Regardless, the Jags are hotter right now and Lawrence is carrying them on his back. Expect the Jags to avenge the loss from last season and take this showdown at the Meadowlands.
