Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Cleveland Browns

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,This Week's Matchup Report by admin on Saturday 2 January 2010 at 4:54 pm

It’s amazing to me that the Jaguars still have a chance to make the playoffs with a win tomorrow and a lot of help from other teams.  The Jaguars are spinning out of control having lost three games in a row.  The Jaguars have not won a game in temperatures under 28 degrees since the 1994 season so they are behind the 8-ball already heading into Sunday’s showdown with a Browns’ team that is on a three game winning streak.  The Jaguars will rely heavily on Maurice Jones-Drew against a Browns’ D that is allowing 145.5 yards rushing per game and 4.5 yards per carry.  If the Jaguars are effective in getting the running game going then David Garrard will have the time needed to make some plays down the field against the Browns who are allowing 247.9 yards passing per game.

On defense the Jaguars will have to gang up on running back Jerome Harrison who has rushed for 434 yards over the last two weeks.  If the Jaguars can stop the Browns running game then they can force them to throw the ball then they can force Derek Anderson into making some mistakes which he is very good at.

PREDICTION:  BROWNS 21, JAGUARS 20
