As we head into week 16 of the NFL season, we have the Jacksonville Jaguars taking on the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in New York. With the NFL season counting down, both of these teams are in the playoff hunt and desperately need this win. Let’s go through my X factors for each team and how they can win this game.
For the Jacksonville jaguars, their biggest X Factor to win this game is the play action Pass with Trevor Lawrence, with the jags offense exploding over the last month Jacksonville can definitely win this game if they can score over 20 points and if they can manage to have one or less turnovers in this game, they have a great shot at winning this and keeping their playoff hopes alive in a very loaded AFC conference.
The New York Jets biggest X Factor to win this game is their defense, if the Jets defense can hold the red hot Jacksonville Jaguars to under 18 points, The Jets have a great shot at winning this game. With Mike White being not cleared to play for the second week in a row, backup quarterback Zach Wilson will be starting again this week the Jets offense really needs to score points and look to keep the defense off the field and keep them fresh.
Overall, my prediction is the Jacksonville Jaguars will win 24-20 and keep their playoff hopes alive as I believe the Jets offense will not be able to keep up with the Jaguars offense. Most believe this will be Zach Wilson’s last game starting before Mike White comes, if the Jets don’t win this game their season could come to an end very shortly.
