The Jacksonville Jaguars will host the Los Angeles Chargers in Florida on Saturday night for the first game of the AFC Wild Card round. Both teams have played exceptionally well this season, with Jacksonville winning the AFC South. Despite winning their division, the Chargers actually finished with a better record at 10-7. Jacksonville finished at 9-8 this season.
We already know that two of the best quarterbacks in football are going to be playing in this contest. With Justin Herbert and Trevor Lawrence, this is expected to be one of the more exciting matchups of the week because people believe that these two guys could be the future at the quarterback position in this league. We might see both players throw for 300-plus yards and have an insanely high-scoring contest.
Below, we will take a look at some of the best picks, odds, and injury updates for this contest.

As we can see from the Jaguars vs. Chargers odds, the Chargers are going to be coming into this one as a slight favorite on the road. They've been the better team this season, so it would certainly make sense. However, there are a few factors that we should discuss when thinking about taking them with our pick.

The Chargers are going to be without Mike Williams after head coach Brandon Staley made a brutal decision of keeping him in during their Week 18 contest. The odds on this one could be a .5 point higher if Williams was out there.
Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Los Angeles Chargers Prediction
Williams is one of the best wide receivers on the Chargers and is surely going to be missed in this contest. They might turn to Keenan Allen for most of their offense if Williams is too big of a miss.
Trevor Lawrence's weapons are expected to be healthy for this game and while there are other key injuries for Jacksonville, he needs his top receivers and running backs ready to go if they want any chance of winning this game. It looks like that's going to be the case and that's exciting news for Jacksonville and their fans.
When thinking about my pick for this game, I've been all over the Chargers this entire week and that's not going to change, despite Mike Williams being out. I think the Chargers are the better team here and instead of taking the 2.5 points, I am just going to take them outright on the moneyline at -135.
