Is it me, or are there a lot of analyst ACTUALLY picking the Jags?

BR, ESPN with Jeff Saturday.  Herm Edwards saying this is a tough decision.  I just don't get it.

Ron's teams start slow

Worst WR corp in the NFL

Defense is built/schemed to live and die on DL play (Star out and an unconditioned CJ)

Question exist about if OL can run block (Kalil's actual condition for the game a question too)

An away game

 

 

 

 

I don't think it's a huge slap in the face to question who wins what should be a close game.  I think we have the edge but I think it is a close game.  I mean we have shown we can lose games just on our inability to punt a football

Maybe in previous seasons, but we started 3-2 last season..  This starting slow crap is getting old

they hate us , they want us to lose .

Probably what you get when you do an in depth analysis, like looking at last season's record, seeing no mind blowing draft picks or FA signings, and deciding that we're probably even worse this year, since Gettleman and Rivera are both idiots.

I don't know about the experts but Vegas has us around 3 point favorites. Add in 3 the Jags automatically get for home field advantage and we sit at a 6 point favorite (meaning all else equal, we are 6 points better than them). Considering how NFL betting lines are, 6 points is actually a pretty big point differential. Too many questions to have us favored anymore. Experts are picking on potential right now, not reality. Everyone wants to be known as the person who 'called' the impossible.

We will win by 10+

First half of the season we buried ourselves.  We won 3 games the first 13 weeks of the season.   

Also beating 2 horrible teams and one shooting themselves in the foot....getting 3 wins doesn't mean your football team was ready.

the panthers have always been a favorite week 1 pick to lose in an upset and we all know why

[Cyberjag]

WalterFootball has us losing, so I like our chances.

Of course, his analysis is full of horseshit, but that's never stopped him before.  

And to answer the original question, so far 57% of the so-called experts are picking the Panthers (http://www.nflpickwatch.com)

[GoobyPls]

How dare they pick against the perennial power house Carolina Panthers. Didn't someone remind them we won 7 games last year

 

 

People are allowed to have predictions, just let it go.

They lost their big weapon in Julien Thomas, we lost KB so that's a wash, they also lost their starting DE. I don't get it.

For what it's worth, currently a majority of ESPN analysts have the Rams beating the Seahawks week 1. So there's that, but still.

Probably has something to do with what "appears" to be a significantly improved Bortles going into year 2.....if that is true, that one improvement is legitimately BIG in terms of impacting their overall team.

Is it Sunday yet?

[UpstatePanther]

Yeah I have us winning handily. Won't be a blowout, but I'm thinking 27-13
