I have been going back and forth on my prediction for this game. I'm probably going to wait until seeing the Inactives before making a prediction. The uncertainty regarding the health of Lions C Frank Ragnow , Jaguars WR D.J. Chark, and DE Josh Allen all are x factors that could impact the game. One way or the other, I'm anticipating this to be a close game.

A huge key to the game is whether the Lions run Defense is much better than it was before the team's bye? I think the Jaguars are planning on James Robinson to have a 20 + carry workload. The more times Robinson has a rushing carry in this game, the greater the chances the Jaguars will win the game. The Lions pass rush is far from a team strength. But the Lions run Defense has magnified the pass rush issues substantially.
