Dallas is a pretty obvious pick and will be my pick to be this year's worst to first team. Elliot will do exactly what he was drafted to do and thee gone. Pats go 3-1 under Garrapolo. I don't care if I spelled his name right. Give them the divisional crown now.

I have to tell you though I wish I was a Jaguar fan. Its going to be really exciting coming up for them. They have some REAL nice pieces on the offense. Two solid RB's if they stay healthy. Allen Robinson is a top 5 WR right now imho. Super compliments with Hurns and TE Julius Thomas. Pretty damn good pieces there if you ask me. They added a couple D-lineman and then went hard core in the draft with their defense. Myles jack and Jaylon Ramsey were great addition and immediate starters. And this Malik Jackson kid they got from Denver and signed in the offseason is the real deal. I thought he should have been the Super bowl MVP last year. That kid completely destroyed every O-line in his path last year in the playoffs on top of it. To me, he has a little Bob Lilly, Randy White, Charles Haley and Leon Lett in him. (Hopefully he's not as dumb as Leon, lol). the Jaguar defense is going to be A LOT, and I mean A LOT better than anyone is expecting. Despite all these additions, draft picks and real nice pieces, it will come down to Blake Bortles. last year he had 18 INT's and 5 fumbles. That's 23 over all turnovers. If Bortles just cuts that in half he will have a monster year with the added opportunities his new defense will give him.


no you dont.

they arent going anywhere any time soon. There will never be some Jag two year dynasty or anything.

Well you chickened out on the last bet I made with you so I know I would be wasting my time trying to make another one with you. Barring injuries, the Jaguar's will make the playoffs. If I lose I will buy you a new Easy Bake Oven.

Honestly, I don't think the Jags make the playoffs this year. I would imagine they finish somewhere near 8-8, but I could very easily see them being in the playoffs the following season or a little further down the road. It's just so stupid to say "never", because in the ever changing world of sports, you just have no idea. The NFL in 5 or 10 years will likely be VERY different than the NFL today. The Pats, Seahawks, and Packers could be bottom dwellers while the Jags, Titans, and Chargers are battling it out. You just don't know.

Everyone makes the playoffs once in a while,so what? The Texans Are great at one and done.
They'll never make the playoffs that often or go any further.
No, I can't do something fun and frivolous like bet strangers on the internet ,I still need a job.

The Jags,Titans and Chargers will never be good for semi long periods at the same time.
The Colts will own the division for the next decade. The Broncos have owned the west with only the Raiders getting in the way more often over 50 years. KC had that one shot with Montana and blew it since SB 4,so long ago.
SD might finally get some wins this year with Denver only half good but it still won't amount to anything.
Only the afc east will be a big question mark for the next 5 years with a aging Brady.
The next 5 years as usual will be Pitt, Ravens,Chiefs,Colts,Raiders, and just maybe the Titans might use those draft picks to get to a SB to lose that one shot...everyone else might get a momentary playoff scrap once in a while.
But no, the Titans, Chargers,Jaguars will never be good at the same time competing for super bowls.

Don´t want to predict much of the season until training camp ends (let´s wait a few more weeks) but one thing is for sure imo:
Josh Gordon will have a pro bowl-caliber season

Best team in that division. Not sold on Oakland, just yet. Mark Sanchez? :lol:

Kansas City are the clear favorites. I could see them getting a first round bye.

Depends on the injuries and the contract situations with Berry and Poe imo.
If they can´t get deals done before the season starts and Justin Houston will miss most of the regular season as well the Chiefs will be in trouble.

they didnt have any trouble doing it last year.
ok, they dont win the division but will still be a wildcard.
either way theyll still be in playoffs. Green Bays defense is still lacking.
But quite frankly, I say they will win the division.
