Jacksonville Jaguars at Detroit Lions: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 11 game

November 13, 2024

The Jacksonville Jaguars may have started Mac Jones last week, but that didn’t stop them from nearly pulling off a massive upset against the Minnesota Vikings. While their offense was only able to put up 7 points, their defense did very well to keep Minnesota out of the end zone.

That said, their defensive luck could run thin against a team as efficient as the Detroit Lions. The Lions had an uncharacteristically bad week offensively in Week 10. Quarterback Jared Goff tossed five interceptions, but that didn’t stop Detroit from walking away with the win. If Goff can play that poorly and the Lions can still win, then they might be the most dangerous team in the NFL. That’s very bad news for the Jaguars.

Here are our experts’ predictions for this Week 11 showdown.

Lorenzo Reyes: Lions 27, Jaguars 10

Yes, this line is massive. But Detroit is playing complete football, winning games even when its starting quarterback throws five picks. I expect Jared Goff to be much better and I expect the Lions to clean a lot of things up.

Tyler Dragon: Lions 30, Jaguars 16

Jared Goff threw a career-high five interceptions, but the Lions still managed to win. That’s a testament to the Lions’ entire football team. Expect a better performance by Goff against a reeling Jacksonville squad. Doug Pederson is another coach with a shaky job status.

Richard Morin: Lions 35, Jaguars 9

What a disappointment of a season in Jacksonville. Hey, maybe Travis Hunter will help?

Jordan Mendoza: Lions 35, Jaguars 7

The only question in this game is if – and when – Dan Campbell decides to take the foot off the gas pedal. This one will be a laugher with Detroit easily getting its eighth-straight victory.
