Jacksonville Jaguars 2-1 After Patriots Rout

Jacksonville head out on the road having rebounded from their first loss with a blowout win to improve to 2-1.

The Jaguars enjoyed a winning start to the season as they dominated Cleveland at home, running out 34-10 winners.

They failed to back that up a week later as they were beaten 20-13 in Denver, but they were able to issue an immediate response last weekend.

It was an emphatic response too, as Jacksonville dominated New England in a 35-6 victory at home.

Trevor Lawrence went 19/29 for 182 yards, three touchdowns and an interception, while Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez combined for 110 yards and two TDs on the ground.

Cincinnati Bengals Suffered First Defeat Last Week

Cincinnati return home looking to rebound from their first defeat of the season, which dropped them to 2-1.

The Bengals kicked off the campaign at home to Tampa Bay, and got off to a successful start as they downed the Buccaneers, 33-27.

Cincinnati improved to 2-0 with a 20-6 demolition of the Texans in Houston the following week, but failed to make it to 3-0 last time out.

Cincinnati suffered a surprise shootout defeat in Pittsburgh, falling 30-27 to their division rivals, the Steelers.

Joe Burrow was 28/37 for 282 yards and three touchdowns, while the star wide receiver duo of Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins combined for 188 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

Verdict

JAX Jaguars @ CIN Bengals

Cincinnati dropped a shootout to the Steelers a week ago, but we do not expect lightning to strike twice.

The Bengals can make the most of home advantage here, as Joe Burrow lights up this Jacksonville defense to lead the team to a victory and a cover.
