Predicting the Jaguars' 2023 Schedule

In two short days, the Jacksonville Jaguars will know exactly what their 2023 schedule will look like.

The NFL's entire 2023 schedule is set to drop on Thursday at 8:00 PM ET, while international games, a Black Friday Game, and select individual games will be released on Wednesday.

"The NFL uses the power of Amazon Web Services (AWS) to power its schedule-making process. There are approximately a quadrillion possible schedule combinations each NFL season and over 26,000 factors to take in to consideration such as stadium availability, travel requirements, primetime games, competitive fairness and division rivalries," the NFL said in a release.

"The NFL uses AWS to run high performance computing workloads to find the best possible schedule each year."

With all of this in mind, here is our gut guess at what a 2023 schedule could look like for the Jaguars, with home games highlighted.

Week 1: vs. Indianapolis Colts

Week 2: @ Pittsburgh Steelers

Week 3: @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Week 4: vs. Carolina Panthers

Week 5: vs. Houston Texans (London)

Week 6: @ Buffalo Bills (London)

Week 7: Bye

Week 8: vs. Baltimore Ravens

Week 9: vs. San Francisco 49ers

Week 10: @ New Orleans Saints

Week 11: vs. Kansas City Chiefs (SNF)

Week 12: @ Cleveland Browns

Week 13: vs. Atlanta Falcons

Week 14: @ Tennessee Titans (TNF)

Week 15: vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Week 16: @ Houston Texans

Week 17: vs. Tennessee Titans

Week 18: @ Indianapolis Colts

In short, I expect the Jaguars to receive a bit more of a bump in terms of prime-time games. Nobody will mistake them for the Dallas Cowboys or the 2022 Bears/Commanders, but I do think two games in front of a national audience make sense, even if one is a Thursday Night Game.

The Bills seem like the most logical team for the Jaguars to play in London, while a second London game can seemingly be expected after the Jaguars seemed to signal that is forthcoming during the draft week.

Overall, the Jaguars are lucky enough to draw some of their toughest opponents at home, while the London trips should signal a bit of unfounded ground.
