Jacksonville Jaguars take on the Arizona Cardinals

The Jacksonville Jaguars are hosting the Arizona Cardinals Sunday and are looking to rebound after a close 14-12 loss last week against the Indianapolis Colts.  The Jaguars should look to blitz Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner heavy and often, as Warner struggled with the 49ers pressure in their 20-16 loss.  Warner threw two interceptions and was sacked three times, as the 49ers showed a great way to defend against the defending NFC Champions.

The Jaguars offense did not look very good last week, as quarterback David Garrard only racked up 122 yards.  They had only two passes for more than 15 yards.  Running back Maurice Jones-Drew was one of the few bright spots for the Jaguars offense, as he rushed for 97 yards on 21 carries and scored a touchdown.  He also caught a lot of passes out of backfield and was pretty much the Jaguars only threat on offense last week.

The Jaguars defense did hold the Colts to 14 points, but they also gave up 365 yards.  I think the Cardinals know they need a big win this week and I am expecting a much sharper Cardinals offense.  I don’t think the Jaguars have enough weapons on offense to keep up with the Cardinals and I see the Cardinals coming out of Jacksonville with a victory.

FINAL SCORE PREDICTION:  Cardinals 28, Jaguars 17
