NFL Week 7, 2019: 5 Teams on upset alert
By Dan Parzych
5. Jacksonville Jaguars
First off, a team like the Jaguars normally wouldn’t be on this kind of list with a losing record, but since they’re taking on a Bengals team that has yet to win a single game, it only seems fitting to have Jacksonville on the list.

A few weeks ago, the Jaguars were showing some life when Gardner Minshew led the team to two wins in a row to make a case in the AFC South race, but unfortunately Jacksonville has dropped their last two since then.
From a realistic perspective, the Jaguars should be able to get by with ease in Week 7 when looking at all of the struggles the Bengals have been dealing with so far in 2019, but also sooner or later, Cincinnati is going to win that first game.
No one expected the Bengals to still be in search of their first win at this point in October back in the offseason when Zac Taylor was hired as the new head coach since he was supposed to help the offense reach new levels.
With this game taking place in Cincinnati, the Jaguars could be on the verge of watching their losing streak increase to three games if the Bengals finally find the motivation to earn that first victory.
