Cleveland Browns vs Jacksonville Jaguars Prediction: A decent road job expected from the Jaguars

In Sunday's NFL game at FirstEnergy Stadium, the Cleveland Browns will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. After losing to the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night, Jacksonville Jaguars will look to bounce back. The Jaguars lost in overtime in that game, dropping their overall record to 8-4. After Sunday's loss against the Los Angeles Rams, Cleveland's record improved to 7-5. 

The Cleveland Browns began the year with a strong 7-3 record but have since faced consecutive losses against the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Rams. Currently, the Browns are averaging 21.5 points per game, with 186.1 passing yards per game, 11 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions. On the ground, they are producing an average of 135.1 rushing yards per game with 11 rushing touchdowns.

In their recent matchup against the Rams, the Cleveland Browns found themselves trailing 20-13 going into the final quarter and ended up giving up 16 more points, resulting in a 36-19 loss. Quarterback Joe Flacco threw for 254 yards with two touchdowns and a interception. Kareem Hunt led the rushing attack with 48 yards, and Elijah Moore contributed four receptions for 83 yards.

The Jacksonville Jaguars experienced a mixed start to the season, losing two of their first three games to the Chiefs and Texans but then rebounding with victories in seven of their next eight outings. During these 11 games, the Jaguars averaged 23.1 points per game on offense while allowing 20.5 points per game on defense. The rushing game contributed 106.2 yards per game and produced 12 touchdowns.

In their recent Monday matchup against the Bengals, Jacksonville held a 28-21 lead going into the final quarter but ultimately fell 34-31 in overtime. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw for 259 yards with two touchdowns, and Travis Etienne contributed 32 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Evan Engram had a notable performance, catching eight passes for 80 yards and a touchdown as well.

The Jacksonville Jaguars didn't showcase their best performance on Monday, so they'll be aiming for a rebound in their upcoming game. Conversely, the Cleveland Browns had a subpar showing against the Los Angeles Rams in their last match. The Browns accumulated 327 total yards (240 passing) and 20 first downs while conceding 399 yards (279 passing) on the opposing side. Consequently, anticipating a closely contested match, I'm opting for the Jacksonville Jaguars to emerge victorious in this one.
