Match preview

The final NFL London game of the year takes place at Wembley as the Denver Broncos meet the Jacksonville Jaguars with both sides looking to spark their flagging seasons into life.

Neither team has been particularly convincing thus far and each hold a 2-5 record due in the main to an inability to put points on the board.

That particularly rings true for the Broncos, who have arguably been the most disappointing team in the NFL this season.

Having landed quarterback Russell Wilson, who is a doubt for this game with a hamstring injury, in the off-season, plenty expected them to be competing for top spot in the AFC West. Instead, they are bottom of the standings and have scored the fewest points in the entire NFL.

Denver’s defence has been keeping them in games, holding six of their seven opponents this season to fewer than 20 points. That should worry the Jaguars' offence, who have found it tricky to get in the end zone in each of their last four games – all of which ended in defeat.

Jacksonville traded away running back James Robinson to the New York Jets this week so it will be Travis Etienne who gets the bulk of the carries out of the backfield now. However, he will have his work cut out against a Broncos team which has allowed the seventh-fewest rushing touchdowns in the NFL.

This total is low for a reason, but there still looks to be value in taking the under.
