TNF NYJets +1 JAX . Incredible early action on the Jaguars as this opened the Jets -2 and we've crossed the bridge. Realistically it doesn't matter unless you expect this to be a 1 point game in either direction. Both teams cling to playoff hopes with Jax actually in a better position to do so. This game is critical because they can't fall more than 1 game back of Tennessee before the final week showdown with the Titans at home.
Jags are a team which has been an analytical darling all year and they're finally paying dividends. Lawrence is becoming that generational talent and the entire offense is working. Trouble with starting LG Cam Robinson out for the season, but backup Walker Little a 2nd round pick from Stanford more than held his own against Micah Parsons in relief last week. Overall this is a healthy unit that has hit a stride.
The defense hasn't been good since early in the year. Despite 3 1st round draft picks along the defensive line, they haven't been able to really affect a game all year. The linebackers have sucked all year and the secondary is comprised of 2 stars and 2 scrubs which leaves them vulnerable to a vertical passing attack...which the Jets don't have.
The health of Quinn Williams is important. With him the Jets defense is imposing, without him they can be had. Zach Wilson should start again on a short week and should be better but better than what? He still makes easy throws look hard.
This will be Jack's first game in a cold environment all year. That means something. The Jets like Jax are on a short week but they stayed home, Jags have to travel.
All in all this is the pivotal game of the year for Jacksonville. They're riding a wave. The Jets with Wilson and Saleh's incompetence at clock management look fried. The Jags are a train to climb aboard and I would certainly recommend them for a standard unit play.
who the hell knows whats up with TW.
