Time: Monday, 9 p.m.
Tickets: The game is listed as a sellout, but chances are you’ll be able to find a ticket.
Weather: Partly cloudy with temperatures dipping into the 60s.
Oddsmakers say: Green Bay by 3 with and over/under of 42.
Daily Record’s fearless forecast: Packers 38, Jaguars 10.
Records: Jaguars 3-7, Packers 7-3.
The series: Green Bay won the only other meeting, 24-14 in 1995.
Last week: The Jaguars lost to visiting Baltimore as tight end Shannon Sharpe caught a touchdown pass from Elvis Grbac with nine seconds remaining in the game. Jacksonville’s number of come-from-ahead losses in the fourth quarter this season is surely some sort of record — at least a skipping record. The Jaguars held leads against Buffalo, Baltimore (twice), Tennessee and Pittsburgh before losing in the final minutes of each game.
Television: The Jaguars go prime time on Monday Night. The game will be broadcast locally on Ch. 25 and nationally on ABC affiliates. Al Michaels will call play-by-play, with Dan Fouts and Dennis Miller adding color. Melissa Stark and Eric Dickerson will be the field reporters.
Pregame: The Jaguars will recognize all veterans in attendance to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Local survivors will be honored on the field, followed by a moment of silence and a 21-gun salute. South Carolina native and national recording artist Edwin McCain will perform the National Anthem.
Halftime: Strictly F/X and Brite Stars Production will provide a fireworks display to the sounds of James Brown and John Mellancamp, among others.
The game: If you like to watch the Jaguars on Monday night, get your fill now because it could be their last time under the lights for a while given their current win/loss record. Packers quarterback and three-time NFL MVP Brett Favre and company look to add to that argument boasting a strong 7-3 start. Jaguars coach Tom Coughlin alluded to adjusting his team’s defensive scheme this week after multiple fourth quarter meltdowns this season. When asked if he will concentrate on stopping the Packers’ deep passing attack or protect underneath, Coughlin chose neither exclusively. “You want a mix,” he said. “I don’t think you give Favre a steady diet of anything.” The Packers come to town with a stout running game as well with Ahman Green approaching 1,000 yards for the season. Meanwhile, Jacksonville continues to rely on back-up players on both sides of the ball. Quarterback Mark Brunell did not practice Wednesday to let his sore quadriceps heal, but is expected to play Monday. Stacey Mack will continue to spell injured running back Fred Taylor. Linebackers Kevin Hardy and Danny Clark are questionable for the game as well.
Next week: The Jaguars travel to Cincinnati Sunday to face the Bengals. Kickoff is 1 p.m.
