This marks the second consecutive week that the Jaguars have played in London. Last week, they faced off against the Chicago Bears but suffered a disappointing defeat with a score of 35-16. This loss ended their winning streak in London since 2022, where they had generally performed well historically—winning three of their last four international games and holding an overall record of 6 wins and 6 losses across all matches played in the city.
Struggles and Opportunities
Jacksonville’s recent performance was certainly below expectations following an impressive offensive display against the Indianapolis Colts just two weeks prior. However, consistency has eluded them this season as both their offense and defense have struggled to find solid footing; this instability is increasingly threatening their playoff aspirations.
On the other hand, New England also finds itself grappling with its own challenges after participating in an overseas game last season where they fell short against the Colts—the match ending at a sparse scoreline of 10-6 marked their first-ever defeat outside U.S. borders; prior to that loss, they had notched up victories in three international encounters including two held in London.
Historical Context
The Patriots carry an impressive historical advantage over Jacksonville with a record of 12 wins to just two losses against them. Their previous encounter during the 2021 season saw them deliver an overwhelming performance with a staggering score difference of 50–10.
Prediction
In anticipation for Sunday’s matchup at Wembley Stadium, my prediction favors the Jaguars clinching victory by overcoming New England with a close scoreline of 20–13.
