Chicago Bears vs. Jacksonville Jaguars Prediction

The Jacksonville Jaguars have made London their second home and have enjoyed success across the pond, so it’s tempting to see them as underdogs. However, the Jaguars have been terrible through five games, and a shootout win against a struggling Colts team doesn’t change that. The Chicago Bears are on the rise defensively and should have success against the Jaguars’ poor offense. Caleb Williams is slowly starting to figure things out a little and Swift is able to take control.

I’m just not trying to get behind the Jaguars based on what we’ve seen through five games. The Bears defense should be the difference. I’ll put the small number.
