Jacksonville Jaguars vs. New England Patriots

Blogged under Bloglockers, The Playoffs, Front Page, Jaguar Headlines, This Week's Matchup Report, General by admin on Saturday 12 January 2008 at 10:52 am

The Jacksonville Jaguars rolled into Pittsburgh and beat the Steelers at Heinz Field but their task this week will be much tougher.  Now they have to deal with the 16-0 Patriots in Foxboro.  Not only that but Tom Brady always saves his best for the post season as he has a career record of 12-2.

The Jaguars will try to  push the Patriots around in the running game.  The Jags have a physical offensive line to couple with Maurice Jones-Drew and Fred Taylor to pound on the interior of the Patriots defense.  That makes NT Vince Wilfork, Tedy Bruschi and Junior Seau the focal point of the defense for the Patriots in this game.  Also, QB David Garrard isn’t afraid to take off either as evidenced last week when he led the Jaguars in rushing.  Garrard had been effective throwing the football until last week when he kept throwing the ball to Steelers defensive backs.  He can’t do that again this week because corners Asante Samuel and Ellis Hobbs are big time playmakers who can take any interception to the house.

The Patriots will try to jump on the Jaguars early with the passing game to take the Jaguars out of their offense.  The Jaguars don’t have much of a pass rush so they will likely be at the mercy of Tom Brady and his receivers.  That is bad news for the Jaguars as Brady will move the football around to Randy Moss, Wes Welker, Jabar Gaffney, Donte’ Stallworth and Ben Watson.  Still, Brady must be careful when dealing with cornerback Rashean Mathis who intercepted two passes last week against the Steelers taking one of them to the house.

PREDICTION:  PATRIOTS 34, JAGUARS 21
