The chargers aren't very good against the run and they're not a superb running team either. As long as the Jaguars are prepared to stop the run and don't keep fumbling like they have the last few weeks I think they should win.

The Chargers may or may not be very good against the run, but we have 3 starting offensive linemen who are questionable for tomorrow's game.  Parnell, Omameh, and Cann.  I'm not too worried about Cann, since Linder is probably better than he is anyway, and we can leave Shatley at center, but possibly losing really good run blockers like Parnell and Omameh is very worrisome.   We must run the ball to keep their pass rush at home.  If we can't, we are in for a long and difficult afternoon.

By the way, I love the apartment story analogy.  That's pretty cute.

I'd say the Bengals defense is at least as good a defense as the chargers, and Fournette is a much better back than Ivory or Yeldon. The Jaguars offense should be able to operate. The defense should be able to cover.

Don't turn the ball over and don't let the chargers have any "free" plays (long runs or bad special teams plays) and the Jaguars should get to 6-3.
