Poll: How many games will the Jaguars win after the bye?
After earning their first win of the season and snapping a 20-game losing streak against the Miami Dolphins in London last weekend, the Jacksonville Jaguars had the week off to celebrate and prepare for the remainder of the season.
That may prove to be extremely beneficial, as the next stretch of games has some tough tests for the young team quarterbacked by a rookie in Trevor Lawrence. Next weekend, Jacksonville heads to Seattle to take on a Seahawks team that is without quarterback Russell Wilson.
It certainly looks beatable with Geno Smith at the helm, but the Jags tend to not perform very well when playing on the west coast, at least historically. Following that game, they return home to face one of the league’s stronger teams in the Buffalo Bills.
The team also has difficult games in November and December against NFC West teams in San Francisco, who it faces in Jacksonville, and Los Angeles, who it faces at SoFi Stadium.
With the team sitting at just 1-5, it’s unlikely that the Jaguars find a way to compete for a playoff spot, even in a down AFC South. But with a handful of division games left (as well as matchups against the struggling Atlanta Falcons and New York Jets), this team could finish much stronger than it started.
Do you think the Jaguars will be able to close the season strong and win some games? Or was the Miami win more of an aberration? Let us know in the poll below (which has been set with an over/under of 4.5 wins).
