For the Bengals’ third home game of the season, the 2-4 Jaguars present an opportunity to test how weak some units on the team really are. There isn’t a unique strength that the Bengals currently possess, but the Jaguars aren’t exactly a powerhouse in their own right.
The biggest mismatch in this game is the Jaguars’ passing game (sixth in Football Outsiders’ DVOA, 19th in Expected Points per Play, 22nd in Success Rate) vs. the Bengals passing defense (30th in DVOA, 28th in EPA/Play, 29th in Success Rate). The advantage is with the Jaguars, but after struggling against the Saints last week, they’re far from dominant.
