1. Jaguars will beat Chargers, 28-17

In the Jaguars and Chargers matchup last season, the Bolts sprinted out to a 35-0 lead, which they held on for a 38-14 win at home. That victory dropped the Jags to (0-2) and gave the Chargers a much-needed confident boost to get back to (1-1). Needless to say, I expect things to go vastly different in their Week 10 battle this weekend.

While I would love to say the Chargers will go all the way to Florida and pick up a huge win, I just don’t see it happening. Not only are the Jags dominating with their rushing and pass-rush attacks this year, but I believe they are a match-up nightmare for Los Angeles.

As we’ve already discussed, this Los Angeles defense hasn’t been able to prove that they can stop a big, bruising running back from completely taking over the football game. The only way they’ll have an opportunity to win on Sunday is if they stop Fournette and force Blake Bortles to throws the football.

Jacksonville will do everything in their power to make sure that isn’t the game-plan for this weekend. I think Bortles can be good at times, but he can turn the football over at a rate that would even make Mark Sanchez feel uncomfortable. Again, until the Chargers prove they can tackle well enough to beat teams with great running backs, we shouldn’t take them seriously as a team who can pull off a huge upset.
