Jaguars Experts Share Final Analysis on Thursday Night Football Matchup vs. Saints

 



The Jacksonville Jaguars are heading to New Orleans on Thursday Night Football to face the Saints in a pivotal AFC South matchup. Both teams are coming off losses in Week 6, but the Jaguars are on a three-game winning streak prior to that. The Saints are the favorites to win the game, but the Jaguars are a dangerous team, especially with Trevor Lawrence at quarterback.

Here is a final analysis of the matchup from Jaguars experts:

Jeff Oehser:

This matchup is tough for the Jaguars for multiple reasons, only one of which is Lawrence's knee. They could be missing multiple starters, including Christian Kirk and Marvin Jones Jr., and they're playing a third game in 12 days. It will take a mammoth defensive effort for the Jaguars to win this one.

The Jaguars' defense has been playing well lately, but they will need to be at their best against the Saints' offense. The Saints have a lot of weapons, including Jameis Winston, Alvin Kamara, and Michael Thomas. The Jaguars will need to pressure Winston and force him into mistakes.

The Jaguars' offense will also need to step up in order to win this game. Lawrence has been playing well, but he will need to avoid turnovers and make some big plays. The Jaguars' running game will also be important, as it will help to keep the Saints' defense honest.

Overall, the Jaguars are underdogs in this game, but they are a dangerous team. If they can stay healthy and play their best game, they have a chance to win.

John Oehser:

The Jaguars have a lot to prove in this game. They are coming off a loss to the Colts, and they need to show that they are a legitimate playoff contender. The Saints are a good team, but the Jaguars are better. They have more talent on both sides of the ball.

The Jaguars' defense is playing at a high level. They are one of the best defenses in the league against the run, and they are also good at pressuring the quarterback. The Saints' offense has been struggling lately, and the Jaguars' defense should be able to take advantage of that.

The Jaguars' offense is also playing well. Trevor Lawrence is having a breakout season, and he has a lot of weapons to work with, including Christian Kirk, Marvin Jones Jr., and Travis Etienne Jr. The Saints' defense is not as good as their offense, so the Jaguars' offense should be able to put up some points.

Overall, I think the Jaguars will win this game. They are the better team, and they are playing with a lot of confidence. The Saints are struggling, and they are playing at home on a short week.

Prediction: Jaguars 24, Saints 17
