Raiders at Jaguars 2022 Week 9: Game preview and prediction

Raiders at Jaguars Preview

So which Raiders team will we see on Sunday against Jacksonville, the one who played the Kansas City Chiefs down to the wire, or the one who did not show up in New Orleans. Going into the Saints game, Carr had been playing good football, but that was the kind of game that has Raider Nation feeling they need to move on from him next season.

Against Jacksonville, Carr should be able to put together a solid effort, and getting Darren Waller back will certainly help. It has been a down season for the talented tight end since signing his new contract, and nothing would excite Raiders fans more than him looking like his old self against a young and talented Jags defense.

On the other hand, the Jaguars have an explosive running back in Travis Etienne, a guy who rushed for over 150 yards last week after the team traded away his backup, James Robinson. After what Alvin Kamara did to this Raiders defense in Week 8, that is certainly caused for concern, especially if Trevor Lawrence gets it going in the passing game as well.

In terms of coaching, Jacksonville had a Super Bowl-winning head coach in Doug Pederson, who is looking to turn this franchise around. McDaniels has struggled in his new role in 2022, so getting outcoached on Sunday is not out of the question either.
