Week 5 Pain: They're on the heels of a 38-35 loss to the Buccaneers, a game where their offense was scoring five touchdowns on five straight possessions at one point, but the defense couldn't keep the line intact.

Team News & Key Players
Jacksonville Jaguars Injuries: Jacksonville is dealing with some big defensive losses. Defensive End Travon Walker sat out after undergoing wrist surgery after Week 4. Linebacker Yasir Abdullah (hamstring) is also most likely out. The defense, which has been producing a league-leading amount of takeaways, will have to have players like Josh Allen play up the pressure.
Seattle Seahawks Injuries: The Seahawks are working around defensive injuries as three starters were absent from their recent game against the 49ers. Riq Woolen (ankle) and Uchenna Nwosu (thigh) are significant losses that have weakened their defense in deep coverage. The status of wide receiver DK Metcalf (hand) and safety Julian Love (thigh) is a massive unknown.
| Key Player Focus | Jacksonville Jaguars | Seattle Seahawks |
|---|---|---|
| Quarterback | Trevor Lawrence (High decision-making, running threat) | Sam Darnold (High passing yards, strong Week 5 showing) |
| Offense X-Factor | RB Travis Etienne Jr. (Ground game consistency) | WR DK Metcalf (Deep threat, game-changing ability) |
| Defense X-Factor | Josh Allen (Pass rusher, high pressure rate) | Boye Mafe (Edge presence) |

Prediction & Conclusion
Prediction
This is a battle of the Seahawks' elite offense and the Jaguars' revamped, opportunistic defense. The variables are the time zone factor (West Coast teams do not play well in the early timeslot) and the Jaguars' steam from their statement victory over the Chiefs. While Seattle's offense has been dynamite, Jacksonville's defense ranks atop the league in takeaways, and that wins games in close manner. With the home-field advantage and with the Jaguars healthier along their line of scrimmage, they should be able to emerge victoriously in a shootout.
Final Score Prediction: Jacksonville Jaguars 27 - 24 Seattle Seahawks
Final Thoughts
This Week 6 game is indeed a proving ground for the playoff value of the Jaguars. Coming out victorious against quality NFC opponent Seattle would confirm that their 4-1 start is "for real." For Seattle, it's all-important rebound game to remain relevant in the highly competitive NFC West. Expect a grind-it-out, defensive struggle in the first half, followed by an explosive offense in the second half energized by quarterback play.
