Jacksonville Jaguars Form

A 17-21 defeat to the Denver Broncos last time out extended the Jacksonville Jaguars’ losing streak to five games, leaving the hosts 2-8 across their past 10 outings.

Unfortunately, the Jacksonville Jaguars offense hasn’t performed to its usual standards of late. In the last five matches, the offensive unit has only put up 17.6 points on average, which is someway off this season’s tally of 21.5 points. The defense, on the other hand, hasn’t been as effective in putting the brakes on opposing offenses of late. In the past five outings, 24.0 points have been lost on average. This is more than the home team usually gives up, having allowed a decent 19.8 points per game this season.

2021 was a year to forget for the Jacksonville Jaguars. The hosts failed to reach the playoffs, having finished fourth in the AFC South at 3-14, and are expected to miss the NFL postseason again, having gone 2-6 so far in the current campaign.

Form looks bleak for the Las Vegas Raiders after a 24-0 defeat against the New Orleans Saints last time out. Adding to that, they lost their previous four away games and are 5-5 in the last 10 games overall.

The Las Vegas Raiders will bring a middle-of-the-park offense for their latest game on the road, having scored 23.3 points per game this season.
