The Jaguars are still reeling after getting beat at home last week by the Cleveland Browns and they will likely take out their frustration on the poor overmatched Bengals tomorrow in Cincinnati.  The Bengals’ defense is pathetic against both the run (146.9 yards rushing per game) and the pass (191.1 yards per game, 96.9 QB Rating).  With that in mind the Jaguars should be able to do whatever they want on offense.  The Bengals only have six sacks this season so David Garrard should have plenty of time to throw the football when he wants to.  He will also be able to take off out of the pocket against a Bengals’ D that will have a hard time matching up with him.  Maurice Jones-Drew and Fred Taylor (if healthy) should do a lot of damage against the Bengals in this game on the ground.

The Jaguars’ D hasn’t played that great this season allowing 338.6 yards per game but the Bengals’ offense might still not be good enough to put up a fight in this game.  Cedric Benson and Chris Perry have both been awful and I have a hard time believing that either of them will have a good game against the Jags.  With that in mind the burden of the offense falls on Ryan Fitzpatrick and the passing game.  That’s bad news for the Bengals as Rashean Mathis will be just waiting to make Fitzpatrick pay for throwing wounded ducks.

PREDICTION:  JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS 34, CINCINNATI BENGALS 10
