The Steelers also have an wide receiver room.
JAGUARS AND COLTS SCORE FULL
Watt returns to full strength, Pittsburgh will have boast one of the league's best pass-rushing defensive lines with the 2021 Defensive Player of the Year next to Cameron Heyward, Keeanu Benton, Larry Ogunjobi, and Alex Highsmith. The Jaguars haven’t faced a daunting defense at this point in the schedule, but that’ll change when they face a modern-day Steel Curtain. Week 8: Jaguars at Steelers Score prediction: 20-17 (L) And Derek Carr is a good enough quarterback to take advantage of anything Jacksonville’s defense gives him. I have a feeling 12-year NFL veteran Cameron Jordan will teach 21-year-old rookie Anton Harrison a lesson or three in the trenches. Jacksonville’s lengthy London trip could catch up with them when they travel to the Big Easy in a short week for Thursday Night Football. Week 7: Jaguars at Saints (TNF) Score prediction: 27-21 (L) I’d be shocked if Indianapolis is happily starting Gardner Minshew in Week 6, but hey, he's pulled it off before. Jacksonville should again be able to take care of business versus a young Colts team, even with a big rest disadvantage as the Jaguars come home from London.Īs much as I believe in Richardson personally, Steichen is gonna have to be a wizard to coax more than a few wins out of the former Gator in his rookie year. Week 6: Jaguars vs Colts Score prediction: 24-14 (W) I'm not convinced Dalton Kincaid, who the Bills traded up with Jacksonville to draft 25th overall, can be an immediate problem-solver as a rookie tight end. Both teams play the prior Sunday, but the Bills have a seven-hour flight across the Atlantic, and the Jaguars do not.īuffalo’s defensive roster has taken a slight step back in recent years while its offense rests completely on the shoulders of Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs.
Jacksonville has a massive rest advantage over Buffalo for this game. Week 5: Jaguars at Bills (London) Score prediction: 31-21 (W) The Falcons also have a lot of new faces on defense, including a first-time coordinator in Ryan Nielsen. Second-year quarterback Desmond Ridder is on pace to make his eighth career start against the Jags. Week 4: Jaguars vs Falcons (London) Score prediction: 35-20 (W)Īs John Shipley pointed out on our JaguarReport Podcast, it’s good for Jacksonville that they play Atlanta early in the season. The Jaguars did embarrass themselves with a 13-6 loss at home against the Texans last year, but that memory should be strong motivation for Jacksonville in 2023. Like the Colts, Houston will have a new coaching staff and starting quarterback this season. Jacksonville’s experience should secure a Week 3 win if the difference in roster talent isn't enough. If there’s an automatic dub on the schedule, it’s here.
Week 3: Jaguars vs Texans Score prediction: 34-13 (W) But I don't have enough trust in Jacksonville’s defense to pick them over the defending champs quite yet. I think the Jaguars will get closer this year, especially with Calvin Ridley in tow and Florida heat providing an edge. The Jaguars weren’t really as close to beating the Chiefs last year as some people like to remember Kansas City entered the fourth quarter of each of their 2022 matchups with a double-digit lead and control of the game. Week 2: Jaguars vs Chiefs Score prediction: 31-29 (L) The Jaguars had some of the least roster turnover in the league this offseason, which bodes well for a strong start. They haven’t won at Lucas Oil Stadium since 2017, but the Colts will be debuting a first-time head coach (Shane Steichen) and probably a rookie quarterback (Anthony Richardson) in Week 1. Week 1: Jaguars at Colts Score prediction: 21-18 (W) Here’s our full game-by-game predictions.
