Jacksonville Jaguars
This is a big year for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Peterson at the wheel and a healthy offense heading into Sunday’s opener. Lawrence lost DJ Chark to free agency (Detroit Lions), but the Jags responded by signing Christian Kirk. Evan Ingram also makes his Jaguars; debut.
The Jacksonville running game also gets a lot better, with Travis Etienne Jr. making his regular-season debut after missing his rookie year with an injured foot. He will inject a lot of production into this offense, and the former first-rounder could be the missing ingredient.
Washington Commanders
Things in Washington have been disastrous, continually. As the Washington Commanders enter the 2022 season, little has changed. This team is a mess, again, To be fair, it’s not all the fault of the team, considering their starting running back Brian Robinson is out of action (gunshot wound). However, this team has far more problems than that. Multiple injuries all over the field, including pass rusher Chase Young.
If there’s bright spot on the team, it’s Terry McLaurin, who will lead this team in receiving again. With new quarterback Carson Wentz, and a sketchy offensive line, numbers won’t be as high.

Jaguars vs Commanders Prediction
The Jaguars are coming off an awful season, but we have more faith in them here than the Commanders. History doesn’t inspire much confidence in Wentz, and Washington has a ton of injuries. There are reasons to doubt the Jaguars as well, but Pederson is a good fit for this offense. Expect them to prevail Sunday in Landover.
