NFL Power Rankings Roundup: Where Do the Jaguars Land Entering Week 10?

With a big test against the 49ers on the docket, where do the Jaguars rank in power rankings throughout the country entering Week 10?

The Jacksonville Jaguars have one of their biggest games of the season set for Week 10, taking on the San Francisco 49ers at EverBank Stadium.

So where do pundits have the Jaguars after their Week 10 showdown? We review below.

Fox Sports: No.  4 (+1)

"Take a week off, rise in the power rankings. The vibes are immaculate in Duval County right now, but up next is their first big test in a month – a huge home game against San Francisco," Fox Sports said.

NFL.com: No. 4 (+1)

 "After a 1-2 start, the Jags reeled off five straight wins in five different stadiums, handling extensive travel, injuries and a short week extremely well. Trevor Lawrence and Travis Etienne are having terrific seasons, Doug Pederson is coaching his tail off, and the defense leads the NFL in takeaways per game. That's the good news. But the Jaguars better have rested up during their Week 9 bye, because the schedule down the stretch is a whale. They have games left against the 49ers, Texans, Bengals, Browns and Ravens, plus two vs. the Titans, who always seem to play Jacksonville tough and have been better with Will Levis at QB. The Jags remain major favorites to win the AFC South, but this slate is going to be a heck of a challenge,"

NFL.com said.

33rd Team: No. 5 (0)

 "The Jacksonville Jaguars entered their bye on a five-game winning streak. QB Trevor Lawrence’s offense has been good, and Jacksonville’s defense has been a little better than expected. This young team already is successful, yet they could realistically improve in every area. The Jaguars’ manageable second-half schedule gives them an advantage over the rest of the AFC’s best,"

The 33rd Team said.

USA Today: No. 5 (-1)

"Coming off their Week 9 bye, October's road warriors will leave Jacksonville just once in the next four weeks. Beating the Niners on Sunday would be quite a statement," USA Today said.

Bleacher Report: No. 4 (-1)

 "If the 6-2 Detroit Lions aren't enough to convince you that the 2023 NFL season is an unusual one, consider this—the Jacksonville Jaguars might just be the most balanced team in the AFC. Trevor Lawrence is coming into his own as one of the league's elite young signal-callers. The Jacksonville offense is loaded with skill-position firepower. The defense features a formidable pair of edge-rushers in Josh Allen and Travon Walker and the league's leading tackler from a year ago in Foyesade Oluokun," Bleacher Report said.

CBS Sports: No.  3 (0)

"They come off their bye with a huge game against the 49ers at home. That is a proving game of sorts in terms of the national stage," CBS Sports said.

Yahoo! Sports: No. 6 (+2)

"The Jaguars get the 49ers at home Sunday in a huge game for Jacksonville. Win that and the Jaguars will take their place among the elite teams in the NFL and will have to be taken seriously as Super Bowl contenders. We'll know a lot more about Jacksonville after Sunday," Yahoo! Sports said.

Pro Football Network: No. 8 (0)

"The Jaguars have been a completely different team since an early-season loss to the Texans dropped them to 1-2. Not only has Jacksonville reeled off five straight wins, but they’re one of only three teams (along with the Ravens and Bengals) to field a top-five offense and defense by EPA per play during that span," Pro Football Network said.
