Jaguars Exit Bye Searching for Wins

The Jaguars started the season 4-1, but have since lost their last two games. Their -9 point differential paints a more grim picture of an inconsistent offense that averaged less than 10 points per game in their recent losses. QB Trevor Lawrence continues to an anomaly. Even with head coach Liam Coen, Lawrence ranks 27th in the NFL in QBR, keeping him among the worst QBs and his worst mark since his rookie year.

Raiders Struggling to Get Going

The Raiders had their full bye week to mull over a 31-0 defeat to the Chiefs. Las Vegas has just one win since Week 2, against the league-worst Titans, causing all sorts of alarms to be raised. While TE Brock Bowers and RB Ashton Jeanty have provided some punch when healthy, QB Geno Smith has massively regressed and the Raiders offensive scheme as a whole has failed. They need some major changes fast.

Jaguars vs Raiders NFL Pick

Two flailing teams meet this week in the clash between the Jaguars and Raiders. Despite Jacksonville's struggles on offense over the last month, they hold a notable advantage over the Raiders as a more complete team. They also share a common opponent, the Chiefs, who Jacksonville beat by 3 right before Las Vegas lost to them by 31. The Raiders likely won't end their losing skid in this matchup, even at home.
