New England Patriots won 50-10 when the two teams last met in January 2022

New England Patriots Form

New England head to London having failed to build on their opening-day win, losing each of their last five games.

The Patriots made a winning start to the season as they upset Cincinnati on the road, 16-10, but that been unable to back that up.

A week later they lost the home opener against Seattle in overtime, 23-20, before going out on the road to lose 24-3 to division rivals, the New York Jets.

New England then made the cross-country trip to lose 30-13 to San Francisco, and that was followed by a 15-10 defeat when they returned home to face Miami.

The Patriots responded to the losing skid by naming rookie QB Drake Maye the starter, and although he enjoyed some good moments in his debut, they were still beaten 41-21 by Houston.

Jacksonville Jaguars Form

Jacksonville go into their second game in London on the back of a blowout defeat to Chicago that left them 1-4.

The Jaguars opened up the season with a couple of one-score defeats, losing 20-17 in Miami and 18-13 at home to Cleveland.

They then went out on the road for a 47-10 defeat to Buffalo, before moving on to Houston where they lost 24-20 to fall to 0-4.

Jacksonville finally got off the mark in Week 5 as they knocked off Indianapolis, 37-24, but they were unable to back that up.

The Jaguars headed to London last week for the first of two games in England, and they fell to 35-16 defeat at the hands of Chicago.

Verdict

NE Patriots @ JAX Jaguars

Jacksonville, by their own admission, gave up as they were blown out by Chicago last week.

That sets off alarm bells, so while the Jaguars are the more acclimatised team, we find the Patriots and the points more appealing.
