- Our 3 boldest Jacksonville Jaguars predictions vs. Seattle Seahawks in Week 6
The Jacksonville Jaguars (4-1) are getting set for their Week 6 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks (3-2), coming off a prime-time win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football.
The win opened the eyes of many, but the team isn't satisfied with the result — they're angry.

The teams will kick off at 1 p.m. The game will be broadcast locally on FOX.
"I don't want to say we're the most pissed off 4-1 team, but like there's definitely some feelings in the building over the last few days of knowing that we have not still put out 60 minutes of our best football," Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said Wednesday, ahead of the team's game against the Seahawks.
Jacksonville's win over the Chiefs didn't come without some pain. The team put itself in a 14-0 hole, turned the ball over at the goalline and couldn't seem to string together successful drives as the game began.
Of course, the Jaguars turned it around, resulting in a 31-28 victory over the reigning AFC champs and their first 4-1 start since 2007. However, to reach their ultimate goal by the end of the season, they recognize the play wasn't good enough, not up to their standards.

That was especially true for the defensive side of the ball.
"I think specifically on the defensive side, there was some frustration in some of the things that we gave up and specifically in the run game, that we didn't probably have our best efforts in stopping the run. Something that we had been doing at a pretty good level there," Coen said of the defense's frustrations after Monday night.

Against the run, Jacksonville ranks 11th in rushing yards allowed per game with 97.8. That's after the team allowed a season-high 158 rushing yards to the Chiefs. That included a 60-yard rushing day from quarterback Patrick Mahomes .

"Man, we pride ourselves on being the best team stopping the run, and that's something that we didn't do against a good offense, nevertheless," Jaguars defensive end Josh Hines-Allen said in the locker room on Wednesday.
"But still, our standard is our standard and we're happy to be 4-1, but I know individually, guys feel like they didn't play to the standard that we know we can play at, including myself."

The team's defensive coordinator, Anthony Campanile, agrees with the overall defensive sentiment exiting Monday night. There needs to be improvement.

"I'm of the same mindset. I think there's a lot that we can do better. I think we've played better than we did and credit to the Chiefs, they did a great job as well but we have a high standard for our play style and our level of execution and I think that could have been better the other night," Campanile said Thursday, adding that the team is "fired up" about getting another opportunity to play.
Jacksonville's next opportunity to play to its standards comes Sunday.
Here are our bold predictions ahead of the Jaguars' matchup against the Seahawks.
Sam Darnold will throw multiple picks against Jaguars

Jacksonville has been the best team this year at getting the football back for their offense. They've forced the most turnovers this year with 14, including 10 interceptions and four fumbles.

Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnoldhas thrown just three picks this year, including two interceptions against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2. He threw just one in a 38-35 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week.
Jacksonville is hellbent on stopping the run and Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III, but that'll only give Seattle the false sense of security until the most opportunistic team comes up with yet another takeaway or two.
Jaguars will post a season-low in rushing yards

Jacksonville's lowest rushing total this season came in Week 3 against the Houston Texans when they posted just 86 yards. The Seahawks have held teams close to that number twice already this season.

They held the New Orleans Saints to 87 rushing yards in Week 3 and the San Francisco 49ers to 84 rushing yards in Week 1.
Jacksonville's ground attack has been one of its calling cards, especially with the passing game showing inconsistencies. But, against a Seahawks defense that has standout players such as defensive linemen Jarran Reed and Leonard Williams and a re-charged linebacker in Ernest Jones IV , it'll be a tough ask.
Travis Hunter will get first touchdown of season vs. Seahawks

Jaguars receiver/cornerback Travis Hunteris still looking for his first NFL touchdown. Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence understands Hunter's need to get the football, but he's not worried about it.

Against the Seahawks and a banged-up secondary, this feels like the week for Hunter to finally get his, scoring for the first time since being drafted with the second overall pick.
As for Hunter, though? He's not worried about when it happens.
"Those types of things, you just got to leave up to God... timing is gonna be right when it's time," Hunter said in the locker room on Thursday.

The last time the Jaguars beat the Seahawks was in 2017. While I don't have them winning this one, it'll be close, and a swing the other way may not take much.
