The Jaguars pummeled the Chargers in a September meeting in California. Will they do the same tonight in Jacksonville?
The Jaguars won the Week 3 meeting at Los Angeles 38-10 with Justin Herbert trying to play through his painful ribs injury. They also have won five consecutive games in their second-half run to the AFC South title. The Chargers were just as hot until they got into more of rest mode late in their Week 18 loss at Denver.
Something needs to give here in a more of an even passing duel between Herbert and Trevor Lawrence. The Jaguars' defense has been making more big plays to make up for some big weaknesses vs. pass and run. The Chargers' defense, however, has been steadier overall on every level. This game actually becomes more about Austin Ekeler vs. Travis Etienne, with advantage to L.A.'s more established dynamo.The Jaguars defense won't be able to stop the Chargers passing game.
This could be the craziest game of the wild-card round and I'm kind of split here with my pick, but after watching the Chargers go 1-3 in outdoor games this year -- a record that would have been 0-4 if the Browns didn't miss a 53-yard field goal in the final seconds -- I'm going to have to roll with the Jags. That is not a typo. I am picking Jacksonville to win a playoff game.Jacksonville destroyed the Chargers in Week Three.
