This week five game will be a battle of the backups. We have the Jacksonville Jaguars traveling to Charlotte to take on the Carolina Panthers.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Gardner Minshew helped bring back the Jags to beat the Denver Broncos in week four. The final score to this game was 26-24.
By no means was Minshew prolific in this game, but he made some crucial throws to help his team win the game. He only threw for 213 yards and two touchdowns, but had no interceptions.
The real story of the day was Leonard Fournette.

He ran the ball 29 times for a career best 225 yards. Surprisingly, he did not have a touchdown. He did average 7.8 yards per carry, so the run game will continue to be a focus for this Jags offense.
The Jags defense got burned early on, allowing 17 points in the first half. They then played much better in the second half, allowing just 7 points but not until late in the fourth quarter.
In total, they allowed 371 yards. Their secondary was the biggest question as they allowed 303 yards through the air. They were without Jalen Ramsey last week which may explain their struggles, but they need to be better in their passing defense. Ramsey is already listed as day to day for this upcoming game, so his status is one to keep an eye on throughout the week.
Carolina Panthers
The Panthers are on a two-game winning streak with Kyle Allen under center. They most recently beat the Houston Texans 16-10.
This game was very defensive as the Panthers only managed to rack up 297 total yards.
Kyle Allen threw for only 234 yards and had no touchdowns or interceptions. He was sacked three times for 29 yards showing that offensive line still needs to improve if the Panthers are going to keep winning.

Their run game was also held in check as they only had 94 yards on the ground. Of course, Christian McCaffrey had 93 yards rushing and the only touchdown of the game for Carolina. However, 93 yards could almost be considered a down game for McCaffrey in the rushing department, so look for him to bounce back against the Jags.
To be fair, McCaffrey caught 10 passes for 86 yards, so in the end, he had about 60% of their total yards from scrimmage.
The defense has all of a sudden has looked like a top team through the past two games. They held the Texans to 264 yards and made DeShaun Watson look uncomfortable from the start.
Most impressively, they held DeAndre Hopkins to just 5 catches for 41 yards. By taking him out of the game, the Panthers were able to limit the Texans offense, who have shown they can make big plays.
The Jaguars do not exactly have a wide receiver like Hopkins, but they will focus on stopping Fournette. If they can do that, they will be in a great position to move to 3-2.

4* Free NFL Betting Prediction: Jacksonville Jaguars +3.5
I like the Panthers to win this game at home because they seem to play better without Cam Newton on the field. Their defense is playing lights out and I think they can contain Fournette enough to keep pace with the Saints in the NFC South.
NFL Free Week 5 Score Prediction: Jacksonville 17 – Carolina 20
However, I think the Jaguars can keep this game very close because of Fournette. Now I do not think he will have another 200+ yard game rushing, but he will open The only concern is the Jags may have ran him way too much this past week and he may be a little banged up. Regardless, I like Minshew to play well enough to help the Jags cover the spread.
