Seattle vs Jacksonville Preview & Prediction
Spread: Seattle -1.0
Moneyline: Seattle (-115)
Total: 47.5
Jacksonville Jaguars: Riding High but Still Unsatisfied
The Jacksonville Jaguars are 4-1, but you’d never know it from the tone in the locker room. Josh Hines-Allen and the defense might have pulled off a Monday Night win over the Kansas City Chiefs, but no one’s popping champagne yet.
Coach Liam Coen’s squad has adopted a “go take it” mindset, aggressive, unpredictable, and relentless. But turnovers, defensive lapses, and sloppy execution are keeping the Jaguars from looking like true contenders. Even in victory, Jacksonville coughed up 476 yards and two costly turnovers. Trevor Lawrence’s game-winning scramble looked more like a blooper reel than a highlight.
Coen made it clear this week, being a 4-1 team isn’t enough. He wants 60 minutes of complete football, and the team knows it. Jacksonville hasn’t started 5-1 since 1999, and that streak is the carrot dangling in front of them now.
The defense remains the strength, anchored by Hines-Allen’s edge pressure and a rebuilt secondary that just swapped out Tyson Campbell for Greg Newsome. Expect Lawrence to push tempo early, leaning on quick throws to Calvin Ridley and play-action looks to exploit Seattle’s corners.
Seattle Seahawks: Time to Bounce Back
Seattle may have dropped a heartbreaker to Tampa Bay last week, but they’re still a live dog heading into this one. Sam Darnold’s late interception cost them a shot at the win, but the offense looked sharp for most of the game, putting up 35 points and nearly 400 yards.
The Seahawks are road-tested and historically thrive in early East Coast kickoffs, boasting a 21-6 record in such games over the last decade. Coach Mike Macdonald is focused on the details — hydration, sleep, body clocks, anything to keep his team sharp on the long trip to Jacksonville.
Seattle’s tight end AJ Barner is emerging as a legitimate weapon, coming off a two-touchdown game, while Jaxon Smith-Njigba has evolved into Darnold’s go-to target, ranking among league leaders in both catches and yards. The defense, however, must find answers after giving up big plays late last week. Leonard Williams and company will look to generate consistent pressure on Lawrence to disrupt Coen’s timing-based attack.
Final Prediction:
Both teams have something to prove, Jacksonville wants to show its 4-1 record isn’t a fluke, and Seattle is desperate to rebound from a gut-punch loss. Expect a back-and-forth battle with big plays on both sides, but Seattle’s consistency in early kickoffs gives them a slight edge.
