Jacksonville at New York Jets Game Preview
Why Jacksonville Will Win
If the offense was ever going to work, this would be the time.
The Jaguars didn’t exactly bust out in the first game of the post-Urban Meyer era – losing 30-16 to the lowly Houston Texans – but there weren’t any turnovers for the first time in weeks, the running game wasn’t bad and the run defense did a nice job.

The Jaguars just don’t take the ball away. They came up with one big play against Houston, but that was an anomaly. They’ve forced just four takeaways in 13 of the 14 games – the three takeaway game against Buffalo was the only time the D forced multiple mistakes – and the Jets have been careful lately.
They’re still there – there was one last week against Miami – but there hasn’t been a multi-turnover game since Week 10 against Buffalo.

What’s Going To Happen
Both teams are having issues with COVID and injuries – Jacksonville’s problems should be a bit more of a problem.
The Jets are missing head coach Robert Saleh, but the Jaguars will miss top pass rusher Josh Allen. The New York receiving corps isn’t a full go, but the ground game and defense will be okay against a punchless team that won’t be able to get the breaks needed late.
