Seahawks vs Jaguars Picks
Spread Pick for Seattle Seahawks vs Jacksonville Jaguars
- Jacksonville Jaguars -1 (5 units)
It was crazy to finish Monday Night Football for the Jaguars as they somehow earned a big home win. They will have the momentum riding into this week despite being on a short week. Trevor Lawrence and Seattle’s Sam Darnold have both been great this season, but there’s one big difference that is going to shape this game.
Darnold is turning the ball over too many times and it’s coming at horrible times for the Seahawks. His late turnover helped Tampa Bay win last week. The Jaguars' defense has been fantastic at forcing turnovers. They have forced 14 turnovers on the year, with 10 of them being interceptions. Jacksonville's defense can get the stops and force extra possessions; they will come away with another big win as they push for the divisional title.
Take Jacksonville to cover.
