Jacksonville vs Las Vegas Stats

Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jacksonville Jaguars have had a disappointing season thus far, currently tied at the bottom of the AFC South with a 3-11 record. Despite an injury to quarterback Trevor Lawrence, the team struggled early on with a 2-8 start and has already been eliminated from playoff contention. Rookie receiver Brian Thomas Jr. had a standout performance in their recent loss to the Jets. Mac Jones has stepped in at quarterback in Lawrence's absence and has shown promise, passing for over 220 yards in each of his last three games. Tank Bigsby and Travis Etienne Jr. have been splitting carries in the backfield, with Bigsby leading the team in rushing yards. Wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. has been a bright spot for the team with an impressive rookie season. The team ranks 26th in scoring and 28th in defense. Linebacker Devin Lloyd and Travon Walker are key players on defense. There are several players listed on the injury report for the Jaguars. Despite their struggles, the team has shown potential and has the support of Pro Football Handicappers for assistance.

Las Vegas Raiders Analysis

The Las Vegas Raiders are currently tied with the Giants as the only 2-win teams in the NFL and are looking towards the draft as they finish out the season. Despite their quarterback struggles, they still have three games left to play, with the potential to spoil playoff hopes for other teams in their final game against the Chargers. In their last game against the Falcons, quarterback Desmond Ridder led a late scoring drive but it was not enough to secure a win. Ridder has taken over the starting spot due to injuries and has shown potential with two touchdown passes and two interceptions on the season. The offense is led by rookie tight end Brock Bowers who has had a strong season. Defensively, the Raiders are struggling, ranking 27th in points allowed per game. Overall, the Raiders have a power ranking of 28 and a record of 2-12. They will be facing the Jacksonville Jaguars who have historically struggled against them in their last three matchups.

Jacksonville Jaguars Favored to Triumph over Las Vegas Raiders in Crucial Matchup

The upcoming matchup between these two teams is crucial for both organizations as they strive for recognition and aim to avoid being labeled as the weakest team in the league. The Jacksonville Jaguars possess a notable advantage in terms of talent on their roster compared to the Las Vegas Raiders. Despite key players being absent from both sides, the Jaguars boast standouts such as Travon Walker, Brian Thomas Jr., and Mac Jones, who provide a considerable edge in pass rushing, receiving, and quarterbacking, respectively. Jones' experience from his time in New England and the Jaguars' strong running game led by Bigsby and Etienne further solidify their potential for success. On the other hand, the Raiders have struggled offensively, managing only nine points in their previous game. With key defensive player Crosby sidelined, the Raiders may face difficulties in stopping the Jaguars' offense. Ultimately, the Jaguars have the upper hand in this matchup and are favored to secure a victory on the road.
