JACKSONVILLE, Fla.<\/strong> \u2013 Jaguars season is back and our News4JAX sports staff is back with its predictions as well. Each week, we\u2019ll unveil our predictions for the week\u2019s game. Jacksonville (5-4) is in a slide and hosts the Chargers (7-3) on Sunday at 1 p.m.<\/p>\n

Kyle Ashley<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s record: <\/b>5-4.<\/p>\n

If there was ever a game for the Jaguars to respond to last week\u2019s collapse, it is this one. This matchup against the Chargers has become the Jaguars biggest game of the season, their chances of making the playoffs almost disappear if they don\u2019t come away with this one. The team has let me down before, but I am choosing to believe that they want nothing more than to get the taste of last week\u2019s loss out of their mouths and will do whatever possible to come away with a win. So, give me the Jaguars to keep the season alive \u2014 Jaguars 21, Chargers 20.<\/b><\/p>\n

Justin Barney<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s record: <\/b>5-4.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t have much faith in the Jaguars right now. They\u2019re way too erratic all over the field. Trevor Lawrence has been up and down. There\u2019s no pass rush. Everything feels disjointed. But Jacksonville\u2019s M.O. is that it beats teams that it has no business in beating. So, give me the home team in a big-time upset. \u2014 Jaguars 23, Chargers 20.<\/b><\/p>\n

Alessandra Pontbriand<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s record: <\/b>4-5.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think this team can just bounce back after last week\u2019s absolute embarrassment and stun the (7-3) Chargers. Head coach Liam Coen disagrees and thinks his team will: \u201cThe way that we approach practice and the way that we approach this game is rooted in …\u2019Never again.\u2019 If we can use it as motivation, a learning moment.\u201d The Jaguars are banged up \u2014 15 players were on the injury report this week. Only four players are out: Anton Harrison, Jourdan Lewis, Hunter Long, and Brenton Strange. While Brian Thomas Jr. is questionable. I just don\u2019t think one week with a team that is dealing with so many injuries can bounce back. On a positive note: I think Josh Hines-Allen breaks the franchise sack record Sunday. Justin Herbert has been sacked the third-most times in the league so hopefully that reignites the Jaguars defense. \u2014 Chargers 28, Jaguars 13.<\/b><\/p>\n

Jamal St. Cyr<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s record: <\/b>5-4.<\/p>\n

This is a must win game. A loss on Sunday makes getting to the playoffs a tough hill. This is a beat up football team. The injury bug bit the Jaguars hard. For them to win Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Waler will need to be game breakers. It\u2019s doable since both of the Chargers starting tackles are done for the year. The problem is I don\u2019t believe that is what is going to happen. I expect a continuation of what we have largely seen over the last 4 games. Back in 2022 the Jaguars played the Chargers twice. Everyone remembers the playoff game but during the regular season the Jags beat them 38-10. Well flip it and that is my score prediction for this one. \u2014 Chargers 38, Jaguars 10. <\/b><\/p>\n
