What to Watch For
Vegas Odds vs AccuScore Sim Data: It's not a must-win game but currently sitting at the No. 5 seed, the Seahawks need to treat it as one. They're coming off a huge win last week against Philadelphia and will look to carry that momentum with them on the road in EverBank Field.
Why is AccuScore favoring the road side more than Vegas is? Lots of variables go into play, but just look at their performance last week -- the defense, despite its injuries, held a potent Eagles offense to just 10 points.
MVP: Seahawks QB Russell Wilson was really good against Philly. He finished with 3 TDs while completing 20 of 31 of his passes for 227 yards; he also hadded 31 yards on the ground with 6 six carries. He's in the MVP discussion and all signs point to another big-time performance this weekend. Their pass blocking has been sub par, but Wilson has made the best of the situation -- as was clear against an Eagles pass rush known for its ability to limit opposing QBs.
Wilson is projected to finish with 265 passing yards and 2 TDs.
Fun Fact: The Seahawks last faced the Jaguars in 2013 when Seattle won 45-17.
