Chicago Bears vs Jacksonville Jaguars Prediction

The Jacksonville Jaguars have made London their home away from home and have success across the pond, so getting them as an underdog is appealing. However, the Jaguars have been awful through 5 games and a shootout win against a banged up Colts squad doesn’t move the needle. The Chicago Bears are getting after it defensively and should have success against a bad Jaguars offensive line. Caleb Williams is slowly starting to figure things out a bit, and Swift is capable of taking over.

I’m just not trying to get behind the Jaguars based on what we’ve seen through 5 Games. The Bears defense should be the difference. I’ll lay the small number.
