The Jacksonville Jaguars and Baltimore Ravens have been headed in opposite directions so far in December.
While both teams entered the month with only three losses, the Ravens haven’t picked up a fourth and the Jaguars dropped back-to-back games against the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns.
Despite their contrasting momentum, the Sunday Night Football contest is still one of the most significant and important games of Week 15. And the Jaguars would be right back in the mix for one of the AFC’s top seeds if they pulled off the upset at home.
Can Jacksonville pull it off? Here’s what experts predict will happen in the Jaguars’ primetime matchup against the Ravens:

Sporting News
The Jaguars’ tour of Ohio did not go well in losses to the Bengals and Browns, and now they have to face the team in the AFC North now. Lamar Jackson is 5-1 S/U with just two interceptions on the road this season, and the Ravens are finding multiple ways to win. Baltimore extends its winning streak to four games, and the Jaguars’ hold on the AFC South is tenuous.
Pick: Ravens 30, Jaguars 24
