Jacksonville Jaguars vs. New Orleans Saints Prediction
The Jags will begin this game as one of the hottest teams in football.
Jacksonville has ripped off a season-best three consecutive win streaks, including two when the team was in London.
Most recently, the Jags beat the Colts at home to take over first place in the AFC South.
Former Clemson standout Trevor Lawrence has played well this season. Lawrence has done a great job at cutting down on turnovers. He has just three interceptions this season.
Travis Etienne Jr. leads the team with five rushing touchdowns.
Wide receivers Christian Kirk and Calvin Ridley have played important roles in this offense. The two both have north of 350 receiving yards this year and a combined four touchdowns.
The Jags defense ranks 15th in points allowed per game (20.3). One area Jacksonville has been strong is vs the run, as they rank third in rushing yards allowed per game.
New Orleans got off to a 2-0 start, but the team is just 1-3 over the past month.
Derek Carr has struggled to get going thus far. Carr, who has consistently ranked toward the top of the league in passing, has thrown for just 1,299 yards and five touchdowns.
One good thing that has happened to the Saints in the past few weeks is the return of all-pro running back Alvin Kamara. Kamara leads the team with 199 rushing yards. In three games, he has 23 receptions.
Former Ohio State standout Chris Olave has been the top target of Carr. Olave has hauled in 32 receptions for 414 yards.
The Saints' defense has been great, ranking sixth in football in points allowed per game (16.0).
Jacksonville Jaguars vs. New Orleans Saints Player Prop Pick
Since returning to the Saints lineup, Carr has made Kamara his favorite target. Kamara is averaging 7.6 receptions per game this season.
Kamara has gone over this number in two of his three games this season. The one he did not was a 34-0 blowout win where the Saints stopped throwing the football.
Jacksonville has an elite run defense, which means the Saints will need to throw the football to beat them.
The Jags have struggled mightily against the pass, ranking 31st in football in passing yards allowed per game (270.3).
