Jacksonville Jaguars @ Seattle Seahawks
3* Premium Selection: Jacksonville +1
The Jags originally opened as a 3 point favorite but when the news came out that Matt Hasselbeck will start the line shifted quickly and Jacksonville is now the underdog.
I really like the Jags in this one for several reasons. Hasselbeck will obviously not be 100% and on top of that is missing 3 starting linemen. It won’t be too easy for him to dish it out to his receivers. Additionally, Seattle is dealing with a banged up secondary and will have a tough time slowing down the Jags. Jacksonville’s offense has been clicking lately, scoring 68 points in its last 2 contests. The Jags haven’t looked this good since the 2007 season when they finished 11-5. One of the main reasons that they appear to be this impressive is because they have a much more efficient passing game than last year. Garrard has thrown 5 touchdowns to only one interception this season, a substantial improvement from last year where his ratio was 15:13. I also believe that Jacksonville’s defense will outplay Seattle’s D. The Jags have already forced 9 turnovers in this young season, meanwhile the Seahawks have only forced 4. Turnovers will play a critical factor in the outcome in this one and the Jags clearly have the edge in that department. This game may be close but the Jags will leave Seattle with their third win of the season.
