This Thursday will kick off Week 16 of the 2022-23 NFL season, as part of what will be the Christmas series of games. The first duel will be played by the Jacksonville Jaguars and the New York Jets, the latter with the obligation to win to stay in the fight for the AFC wild card.
Day: Thursday 22 December.
Now: 8:15 PM (US Eastern Time).
Place: MetLife Stadium, New York.
TV/Live Broadcast: Amazon Prime Video, NFL Game Pass, fuboTV.
Team records: Jaguars 6-8 / Jets 7-7.
Travon Walker, Cam Robinson and Foley Futukasi will be absent from the Jaguars after missing practice in Wednesday’s session. Although Trevor Lawrence has had a sore finger, he will most likely start with his team.
The venues will be without Denzel Mims, Jeff Smith, Brandin Echols and even backup quarterback Mike White, all still without a medical certificate. In doubt are Lamarcus Joyner, Bam Knight and Quinnen Williams.
The team coming into this game with the need to win are the Jets and they likewise have better arguments for it which is why ESPN is giving them a 62% chance of winning at home. Things won’t be easy for the locals and the Jaguars will be the rock in their shoe ruining their chances, finally being left with a close win.
