Jacksonville Jaguars vs Seattle Seahawks NFL Preview: Team news, betting, tickets, live stream, Fantasy Football and more

The Seattle Seahawks will travel cross-country to face the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, Oct. 12, at EverBank Stadium in Week 6 of the NFL season.

Jacksonville enters the matchup riding high at 4–1 after a thrilling 31–28 Monday night victory over Kansas City. Trevor Lawrence led the charge with a dramatic game-winning touchdown run in the final 23 seconds, capping off a clutch drive that swung the momentum back in the Jaguars’ favor. The defense also made a huge impact, highlighted by linebacker Devin Lloyd’s incredible 99-yard interception return for a score, a play that completely shifted the tone of the game.

Seattle, on the other hand, is coming off a narrow 38–35 home loss to Tampa Bay, though its performances on the road have been much stronger. The Seahawks are 2–0 away from home and will likely emphasize a ball-control approach built around a steady rushing attack and high-percentage throws to keep Jacksonville’s explosive offense off the field. Injuries in the secondary remain a worry for Seattle’s defense, but overall, the unit has held its own despite the setbacks.

Jacksonville Jaguars team news

Only one player, starting center Robert Hainsey (hamstring) did not practice due to injury, while nine players were listed as limited participants in the initial injury report. Robert Hainsey (hamstring) and Brenton Strange (hip) are questionable, while Travon Walker (wrist) and Wyatt Milum (knee) are ruled out.

Trevor Lawrence has thrown for 1,066 yards, tallying six touchdowns against five interceptions. Brian Thomas Jr. leads Jacksonville's aerial attack with 244 receiving yards, while tight end Brenton Strange has quietly become a reliable chain-mover with 20 catches for 204 yards. Travis Etienne Jr. continues to be the engine of the offense, rushing for 443 yards and two touchdowns at an impressive 5.8 yards per carry. The Jaguars thrive when they stay ahead of the sticks, setting up manageable third-down situations through chunk plays early in drives.

Defensively, Jacksonville has made key stops when it matters most. Linebacker Foyesade Oluokun paces the unit with 44 tackles, Devin Lloyd has been a difference-maker with four interceptions, and Arik Armstead has added 2.5 sacks. The Jaguars have been flawless at home so far, boasting a 3-0 record and coming up clutch late in tight games.

Seattle Seahawks team news

It's getting harder by the week to recognize what’s left of the Seattle Seahawks defense. Injury after injury has gutted what was once a promising unit, and the timing couldn't be worse with a pivotal Week 6 clash against the Jacksonville Jaguars looming on Sunday. Seattle's first injury report of the week read more like a hospital list than a roster sheet, seven starters or key contributors were either limited or sidelined entirely. None of the names were shocking, but the sheer number paints a grim picture for a defense already running on fumes.

Linebackers Ernest Jones IV (shoulder), Derick Hall (oblique), and DeMarcus Lawrence (quad) all sat out practice, joined by safety Julian Love (hamstring) and cornerback Devon Witherspoon (knee). Meanwhile, safety Nick Emmanwori (ankle) and corner Riq Woolen (concussion) were limited participants. That’s nearly an entire defensive unit hobbling into the weekend.

Defensive tackle Jarran Reed also missed practice, though that was more of a veteran maintenance day than an actual injury concern. Swing tackle Josh Jones remained sidelined as well, still nursing an ankle injury from Week 3 against the Saints — head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed he'll miss another game, though IR isn’t in the cards just yet. Macdonald downplayed panic when asked about his banged-up secondary, noting that all four defensive starters participated in the team's walkthrough earlier in the day. Still, that's little comfort with Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars' offense coming to town.

On the offensive side, Sam Darnold is riding the high of his first 300-yard game of the year, but Week 6 brings a much stiffer test. Jacksonville's defense has made a living out of wrecking rhythm quarterbacks, disguising coverages, and forcing bad throws — they've already snagged 11 interceptions on the season. For a quarterback like Darnold, whose play tends to unravel under heavy pressure, that's a concerning matchup.

To survive, Darnold will need to lean on timing throws, play-action, and quick reads — though that could clip his ability to push the ball downfield. The silver lining? Jaxon Smith-Njigba has become the heartbeat of this offense. The rookie wideout lit up Tampa Bay last week with eight catches for 132 yards and a touchdown, showcasing the crisp route-running and spatial awareness that make him a nightmare on third downs and near the goal line.

Jaguars vs Seahawks Fantasy Football

Sam Darnold (projected 17.3 fantasy points in Week 6) is in the middle of a hot streak that few saw coming. The veteran quarterback torched defenses again on Sunday, setting new season highs with 28 completions, 34 attempts, 341 passing yards, and four touchdowns. Sure, his day ended with an interception, but that hardly dampens what’s been a remarkable run. Darnold has now averaged at least 8.9 yards per attempt in four straight outings and tossed multiple touchdowns in three of his last four. He’s gone from fringe starter to a dependable QB2 with legitimate QB1 upside when he’s firing on all cylinders.

In the backfield, Travis Etienne (11.4 projected points) continues to be the engine that drives Jacksonville’s ground game. His 443 rushing yards rank fourth in the NFL, and he’s found the end zone three times this year. However, the dynamic back is coming off a subdued performance against Kansas City, carrying the ball just 12 times for 49 yards and failing to score for the first time in three weeks. He'll be eager to bounce back, but standing in his way is a Seattle run defense that’s allowed a mere 415 rushing yards all season, a true clash between elite runner and elite stopper.

Meanwhile, Jaxon Smith-Njigba (11.5 projected points) is fast emerging as a go-to weapon in Seattle’s aerial attack. After his breakout 27.2-point performance, the young wideout’s chemistry with Sam Darnold has fantasy managers salivating. His steady target share and knack for making big plays have vaulted him into must-start territory, a full-fledged WR1 in Week 6 for those bold enough to trust the breakout.

As for Trevor Lawrence (16.1 projected points), the Jaguars’ signal-caller turned in his sharpest showing of the season on Monday night, finishing as the QB6 with 26.2 points. Despite a costly interception and a fumble at the goal line, Lawrence flashed his mobility and poise, delivering his best fantasy effort of 2025. He remains a solid QB2, but with Seattle’s secondary banged up, the door is open for another strong outing.

And don’t sleep on Brian Thomas Jr., who showed real flashes in Week 5. The rookie led Jacksonville in receiving with 80 yards on six targets, hinting at a budding connection with Lawrence. Analysts still see him as a high-upside but inconsistent option — a boom-or-bust WR2/3 — but with Brenton Strange sidelined, Thomas could see more looks as the offense continues to evolve.

Jaguars vs Seahawks Game Predictions

The Seahawks and Jaguars have both been lighting up scoreboards through the opening five weeks, ranking among the NFL's most entertaining offenses. Seattle’s been humming along at 29.2 points per game, while Jacksonville isn't far behind, averaging 25.4, both teams proving they can turn any drive into fireworks.

But let's be real, neither defense has been a brick wall lately. The Jaguars may be allowing a modest 20 points per game on paper, yet their recent outings (21 and 28 conceded) suggest some cracks are forming. The Seahawks, meanwhile, have seen their own defensive numbers balloon, surrendering 20 and 38 in back-to-back contests.

All signs point to another shootout brewing on Sunday afternoon, one that might just come down to who blinks first. And if turnovers are the deciding factor, that plays right into Jacksonville's wheelhouse. With Trevor Lawrence steady under center and the defense known for pouncing on mistakes, the Jaguars' knack for clutch takeaways could make the difference.

Yes, Darnold and company will move the ball, but that long flight east and Jacksonville's ball-hawking defense could spell trouble late. Expect a tight one — but the edge goes to the home side.

Prediction: Jaguars 27, Seahawks 23. Lawrence engineers another ice-cold fourth-quarter drive, and the defense caps things off with a timely takeaway to seal the deal. Seattle battles hard, but Jacksonville’s poise and balance at home prove just a bit too much to overcome.
