Jaguars Desperate for Win

The Jacksonville Jaguars are desperate for a Week 16 win. Doug Pederson and his Jaguars have run into some major struggles, getting outscored 88-65 in the three losses. In the last four losses for the Jaguars, they have allowed a total of 122 points. Jacksonville will need to be better, as their offense is just at 22.8 points per game.

The Jaguars are without Christian Kirk for the season, and likely Zay Jones, their second best receiver will miss this game as well. That puts more pressure on their quarterback position. Trevor Lawrence is the starter, but questionable for this game as he is in the concussion protocol. That would leave it up to CJ Beathard.

Travis Etienne needs 163 yards on the ground to reach 1,000 on the season, and he has 9 touchdowns to lead Jacksonville.

Mayfield To Evans Elite in 2023

Baker Mayfield has come in as the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and done a great job. There is a strong case for Mayfield to win the comeback player of the year award in the league this season. The signal caller has thrown for 3,315 yards and 24 touchdowns. He has thrown all but two of the Buccaneers passes this season.

Mike Evans is having a great season as well. Evans has over 1,000 receiving yards, and leads the team with 11 touchdowns. The underrated offensive weapon for Tampa Bay has been their running back. Rachaad White leads the team with 834 yards on the ground, and is third on the team with over 430 receiving yards. White has a total of 6 touchdowns on the season.

Buccaneers Win Fourth Straight and Send Jacksonville to Further Struggles

What a game this should be. Two teams that really need wins. The Jaguars have struggled and the Buccaneers are playing good football. The Jaguars are beat up in skill spots, and that is not good news. For Tampa, they are playing some of their best football at their skill positions. Baker Mayfield is finding his weapons, and we look for that to continue in this one.

We are going to bet on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to win this game at home. The final bet for the Week 16 affair is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers -0.5 over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
