Game Preview

As bad as the Raiders have looked lately, they could easily win this game. The Jaguars offense has struggled just as badly as the Raiders, as well as their defense. A team that was known for the defense just a couple years ago has completely fallen apart, and the lack of an identity at QB has not helped the team.

The Jaguars have scored twenty points or less in eight games this season. Neither Minshew nor Foles has impressed this season, and outside of Leonard Fournette, there is nothing the Jaguars have going for them.

The biggest difference-maker in this game will be Josh Jacobs against the Jaguars rushing defense. If Josh Jacobs is healthy, he could have one of the biggest games of the season, as the Jaguars allow over 141 rushing yards per game.

The Raiders season may be just about over, but a win in Oakland for the final game will be just as important as anything this season. Will the Raiders pull out the win, or will the Jaguars break their losing streak in enemy territory?
