Jacksonville Jaguars Preview

The Jaguars have won their last three games and have scored 23 points or more per contest. Their most recent win was a 37-20 outing over the Indianapolis Colts, where they secured 21 points in the second quarter alone to push for victory.

Their latest win streak is impressive, as they struggled to create offense early in the season. In just these last few games, they have averaged 28.3 and given up 15.6 points per game.

They currently hold the top position in the AFC South, but it is crucial for them to maintain their strong performance. They have managed to score an average of 23.7 points per game, while their opponents typically score 20.3 points. This results in a narrow point differential, but they need to ensure consistency on both offense and defense.

Trevor Lawrence, with seven touchdowns and three interceptions, has accumulated 1,439 yards this season. However, he needs to reduce his interceptions. Surprisingly, his Quarterback Rating (QBR) has not suffered much, standing at 54.4, which ranks 15th in the league. Their offensive success relies on his leadership.

New Orleans Saints Preview

The Saints recently suffered a 20-13 defeat against the Houston Texans. They failed to have any scoring opportunities in the fourth quarter to give them a shot at winning.

They are now back on the losing side after previously breaking their two-game skid with a win against the New England Patriots. In other words, they are 1-3 over their last four games. In those matchups, they have averaged 22.5 points per game and allowed 16.0.

Even with a record of .500, they maintain their second-place position in the NFC South. Securing another victory in this game could significantly enhance their prospects of leading the division, which is presently being controlled by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a 3-2 record.

The Saints are averaging 18.2 points per game and allowing 16.0 so far this year. Derek Carr (5 TD, 3 INT) has 1,299 yards and a QBR of 51.3 (17th-best in the league). If he can help their offense retain quality possessions and not turn it over, they have a chance at victory.
