Lions hand Vikings first loss, Russell Wilson cooks in Steelers debut
Mackenzie Salmon breaks down the top storylines from Week 7 in the NFL.
Sports Seriously
After two week abroad, the Jacksonville Jaguars (2-5) are back in the United States to host the red-hot Green Bay Packers (5-2).
Jordan Love is proving to be the man who deserved a massive contract extension in the offseason by leading Green Bay to a tough victory against the Houston Texans for its third-straight win. The NFC North is a crowded division, and Green Bay is doing a good job of keeping pace.
The season hasn’t been what Jacksonville has wanted, but it will leave London with a win against the lowly New England Patriots. It’s a long hill to climb, but the Jaguars could turn their season around with their biggest win of the season.

Lorenzo Reyes: Packers 30, Jaguars 13
Green Bay’s secondary has become an elite unit under coordinator Jeff Hafley, and the Packers lead all NFL teams with 17 takeaways. The Jaguars did pick up a much-needed victory, but it came against the Patriots in London, after Jacksonville had been stationed overseas for more than a week. I love Green Bay in this spot.
Tyler Dragon: Packers 28, Jaguars 20
Seems like the Packers are flying under the radar at 5-2. But it’s worth noting that Jordan Love is playing much better than his predecessor who is now in New York. Plus, running back Josh Jacobs ranks fourth in the NFL in rushing yards. The Jaguars don’t have an offensive identity.
Richard Morin: Jaguars 20, Packers 17
Everything says not to pick the Jaguars, who return home after multiple weeks in London. But on the heels of a much-needed win, I like Jacksonville to steal one here.
Jordan Mendoza: Packers 27, Jaguars 25
Green Bay has looked great on both sides of the ball in recent weeks. This has the feeling of being a trap game for the Packers, but Jacksonville can’t deliver in the final minutes to pull off the much-needed upset.
