Well, here we are again. Game day is upon us, and what looked like a probable loss for Jacksonville before the season now feels like a very winnable game. But only if the Jaguars keep the main thing the main thing and take care of business.
It wasn’t long ago that I said I wasn’t picking the Jaguars until they proved me wrong. Now, I’m at the point where I need a pretty good reason to pick against them. And the crazy part? I don’t think this team is anywhere close to reaching its ceiling.
They’re winning by doing the things that matter most: taking the ball away on defense, protecting it on offense and playing complementary football. They’re staying within themselves, executing and finding ways to win. Are they perfect? Far from it. But they’re meeting, if not exceeding expectations, and there’s plenty of room to grow.
So, I’m rolling with the Jaguars this week. I expect them to stay focused, handle their business, and take advantage of a wounded Philadelphia team.
And with the new wrinkle we’ve added to our prediction competition between Jamal, Justin and myself, I’m swinging for the fences: Travis Hunter scores a touchdown in this one.– Jaguars 30, Eagles 17.

Jaguars are on a tear. They really could return from London as the best team in the AFC. I don’t think this game will be a blowout, despite all of the ongoing issues with Philadelphia. They’re a banged up team, but London can be an equalizer. Give me a Brenton Strange TD this week. — Jaguars 28, Eagles 20.

Philadelphia is missing Saquon Barkley and DeVonta Smith, has more questions than answers along the offensive line, and is coming off a loss to the Rams. Meanwhile, Jacksonville’s defense ranks among the league’s best at creating turnovers, and Trevor Lawrence has the offense rolling. I’m expecting Liam Coen to lean on the run game, and Bhayshul Tuten is in line for a big day. My call: the Jags win comfortably, Tuten scores a touchdown, and Eagles fans spend the flight home wondering if their team left its offense somewhere over the Atlantic. Tuten anytime TD is my play. — Jaguars 31, Eagles 17.
