This year’s record: 6-4.
I’m not going to lie, this game does make me a little nervous. After last week’s surprising knockout performance against the Chargers I am curious to see how the Jaguars plan to respond in order to keep the momentum growing. They say they have set a new standard and if they have then they will come out and take care of business. The only thing is that they are taking on a backup quarterback, something that this defense has struggled against so far this season. However, if the team comes out and plays fast, jumps on the Cardinals early and leans on the run game, they should come out with a win. So give me the Jaguars getting the win. — Jaguars 28, Cardinals 20.

The Jaguars needed that win last week desperately, and showed signs of life in areas that needed it (pass rush, offensive line). Can Jacksonville maintain that edge and keep playing “pissed off,” as players and head coach Liam Coen labeled it? I think they do that this week and stay on track for a playoff spot. — Jaguars 27, Cardinals 17.

The Jaguars say they have a new standard and from what they showed against the Chargers - that new standard must be winning. I think the Jaguars are primed for their seventh win of the season against a struggling Cardinals team. The Jags have handled business on the road winning twice earlier in the season when they head out West. — Jaguars 24, Cardinals 10.

There is no way I’m putting my faith in Jacoby Brissett ... Jaguars win comfortably. This is where the Jags start to build some momentum. AFC south championship or bust? OK, maybe not that far yet, but it could happen. — Jaguars 28, Cardinals 17.
