Thursday Night Football Prediction: Can Derek Carr, Saints Pull it Off on TNF?
Thursday Night Football Prediction: Can Derek Carr, Saints Pull it Off on TNF?
The Jacksonville Jaguars are coming off of a short week going against a tough New Orleans Saints team tonight. On top of coming off of a short week, the Jaguars are pretty banged up with some injuries, including star quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The Saints have won five straight games against the Jaguars, and I believe tonight they will extend that streak to six. The moneyline should be the safe play here tonight for the home team New Orleans Saints.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. New Orleans Saints Prediction
The Saints have been a pretty disappointing team offensively this season but I do like them tonight versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. Trevor Lawrence suffered a knee injury last Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts but he's going to give it a go as of now. Still on a short week and against a Saints defense and a top-10 rush defense, this will be a tough game for Lawrence.
Derek Carr and the Saints are going to be able to move the ball against the second worst pass defense in the NFL just above the Chargers. The only question I have for the Saints is are they going to be able to finish drives in the red zone unlike they did against the Texans, which is a big reason I believe they lost versus them last week. The Saints have won five straight games against the Jaguars and I believe tonight they'll make it six.
The Texans absolute destroyed the Jaguars secondary this season, and if you ask me, the Saints have a much better pass offense than the Houston Texans. The Jaguars have been hot since, winning their past three matchups since losing to the Texans, and have pretty much dominated all three of them.
Their defense has also forced the most turnovers in the NFL, but they are not at full health. I think if the Jaguars were fully healthy and weren't coming off of a short week, this would be a totally different game. But, injuries to Tyson Campbell, Trevor Lawrence, Walker Little, and Zay Jones definitely can't over looked heading into tonight's matchup. This is why I believe the Saints moneyline is a lock tonight.
