A battle for the #1 pick has big implications in this game in Week 16 between the Jaguars and the Raiders. The Jaguars paid Trevor Lawerence in the offseason so the Jaguars plan to keep him as the franchise quarterback. Meanwhile, the Raiders are looking to build from ground up and looking for their future franchise quarterback. Below are the Jaguars at Raiders Preview and Predictions.
The Jacksonville Jaguars come into this game healthy and don’t have any significant injuries at this point of the season outside of the players who they have lost to season-ending injuries. For the Las Vegas Raiders, three questionable tags on the defensive side. Sam Webb, Kana’i Manga, and Nate Hobbs.

This is another game I am not looking at stats and trends. The question in this game is, what’s the motivation for the Raiders? They are looking for their next franchise quarterback and they could land one with the #1 or #2 overall pick in this draft. You also have Mac Jones on the otherside playing hard to possibly return as the starting quarterback for another team.
The Raiders at home this season are 1-5 SU and 3-3 ATS. Both of those coaches possibly will not be back for their respective organizations and I often question the decision making by Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce. I’ll take the Jaguars in this tank bowl!

With all the injuries the Jaguars are dealing with at the wide receiver position, Brian Thomas Jr. has rose to the occasion for the Jaguars. Over the last three weeks, Thomas Jr. has a total of 36 targets. Additionally, Thomas Jr. has exceeded this projection in four straight weeks for the Jaguars. I expect the targets to continue to be there for Thomas Jr.
