Jaguars vs. Ravens: Week 15 Staff Predictions

The Jacksonville Jaguars need a statement win in Week 15.

The Jaguars have avoided a three-game losing streak all season long, but that is seriously in doubt for the 8-5 Jaguars as they host the 10-3 Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.

So how does the Jaguar Report staff see Week 15? We break it down below.

John Shipley

Prediction: This game just feels like it is happening at the wrong time for the Jaguars. Between injuries on both sides of the ball, the rapid and steep decline of the defense since the bye week, and issues on offense without Christian Kirk's presence, it is obvious that the Jaguars just aren't trending the way they need to entering the final month of the season.

Maybe the Jaguars come out firing on all cylinders in the face of adversity. They have done it before under Doug Pederson. I am just skeptical it happens against either the best or the second-best team the Jaguars will play all year, depending on how you stack the Ravens up against the 49ers. We saw what the 49ers did to the Jaguars, and was when Jacksonville had momentum.

Prediction: The Jaguars are facing tough times, falling in both of their last two contests to backup quarterbacks. Now they turn to face an AFC giant, the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens (10-3) possess one the league most dangerous offenses and suffocating defenses, starring Lamar Jackson and Marlon Humphrey.

The Jaguars’ conversely, are attempting to right the ship before it sinks. Much of the roster is battling through injuries and the players that are healthy have underperformed in recent weeks. If there ever was a ‘get-right’ game this is it. They desperately need something to go right. I just have a hard time envisioning a Jaguars win in their current situation against a great Ravens team.

Prediction: The good news is that the long list of names on the injury report for the Jags is showing a lot of status improvement. Walker Little and Ezra Cleveland both are on the right path while Tyson Campbell looks to be on the road to recovery himself.

That being said when facing Baltimore and quarterback Lamar Jackson, missing safety Andre Cisco is a big problem for Jacksonville. However, Trevor Lawrence being healthier than he was last week means he may miss fewer throws than he did against the Browns.

The opportunity for improvement in offensive production will be noticeable, but Jacksonville still loses another home game

Prediction: The pressure is on the Jaguars. It's at the wrong time. The bettor in me thinks this is a letdown spot for the Ravens, but I just don't see how the Jaguars fix both the offensive line issues and the defensive issues in time for SNF. The Jaguars will need an exceptional game out of Lawrence no matter what, but their inability to run the ball well or defend against the pass is a bad combo. Should be a fun one, but I don't see it ending in a Jaguars win.
