I would switch San Diego with Seattle even though Rivers has had our number for a long time. That being said, 8-8 will be my prediction. I expect us to split the 6 games in our division which gives us a best case scenerio of 10-6. The worst case would be 6-10 as the defense is going to be very strong. Combine that with much improved special teams play and even B.B. should be able to win 6 games. As bad as he has been, they can't afford to lose him this year since I have no confidence in either Henne or Allen.

Well, I picked San Diego since in recent history it didn't seem to matter if we traveled to see them, or if they came here to Duval.  That team always seems to "have our number" regardless.

Within the division, my guess (in July) is that we can probably split with the Titans and outright beat the Texans and the Colts.  That's 5 games right there.

If you look at the other opponents, and assuming we actually have a running game and a good defense, we should easily win 4 other games.

At least that's how I'm looking at it.

I'm going to be an optimist this year. Looking at the facts

-Ice cream Gus has melted away. Marrone is a leader of Men and proven winner. I believe he went 1-1 last year as Head coach of this team.

-Greg Olsen cost this team more than people realize. He was partially responsible for Blake's regression last season. He advised against Blake going out to California to work on his craft. Olsen is a proven Loser.

-Tom Coughlin has 2 Superbowl rings to show his level of success. I think this young team really needs a hard nosed presence.

-The offensive line was much better than many people think. Compare the stats to prior and post Olsen Firing. The line simply improved dramatically after Olsen. I remember seeing a stat during the Houston game Dec 18th. The jags were a top 10 team running the football Under Hackett.

-The team has been picking in the top 5 for awhile now. Sooner or later combined with the millions in free agency it has to pay off sometime.

I am saying they are going to pound the ball,play good defense, and take the pressure away from Blake. I think Blake will benefit especially in the play action game. I see success.

Optimist this year.

10-6!

I think they go 10-6 and afc south champions

I agree.

I say 4-12
But would be happy with 8-8. I will never say a winning record until I see one. It has been so long!

My prediction is 7-9.

We beat the Colts and Titans once. We beat the Rams, Jets, 49ers, and Browns. Then we win 2 of the other remaining games.

I'm giving them 8 wins.
split in division
rams, 9ers, jets, browns
and an upset over Seattle who I think is probably taking a step back this year...

I think 8 wins will tie for 2nd in the division and the only AFCS team to make the playoffs this year is the stinkin tacks, with a 9 or 10 win season.
Clots match us at 8 and tinhorns slide to a 6-10 finish led by a rookie and a defense that underperforms from the pedestal everyone has put them on.

7-9

For the record, I've refined my record prediction. I'm not necessariliy changing my 8-8 prediction, but previously I had been saying 8-8 plus or minus two games. I've since refined my prediction to 9-7 plus or minus one game.

I'll even stick with 8-8 as my pick without a range, but I'm basically saying it will be at least this much... 10-6 tops.

I am going to wait ,and give my record prediction after our 3rd pre-season game this year. Last 2 years i did that,i was awfully close. 2015 I said we would go 6-10 we ended up 5-11 i missed it by 1 game. Last year i said we would go 2-14,and serveal here thought i was crazy. we went 3-13 last year. again i missed it by 1 game.

These earlier threads are fun to go over.

I'm still keeping my prediction at 6-10, believing that maybe 4 of those wins will be ugly/controversial/gifted by the refs.

From the top down, leadership in this organization has been been horrible for about a decade. As a result, we haven't been a good team for a long time and it's really depressing.

At least the AFC South pick-em starts up again soon, right? That's the only enjoyment I get most seasons anymore.

11-5... Really.... ? JagginAndSwaggin IS **OFFICIALLY NOT CREDIBLE**
I was thinking more like 3-13 with BB5INT

We do play Rams, Niners, Jets, Browns, and Ravens. Those could easily be the 5 worst teams in the league this year.

this is a 5 win team. no way they win more then 5 games. 5-11 will be the final record.

A x factor that come to mind with the Jaguars game against the Chargers is which team will end up benefiting more with Gus Bradley being the Defensive Coordinator for Los Angeles.   Bradley knows most of the Jaguars Offensive Personnel inside and out.   The Jaguars have great familiarity with Bradley's Defense and mindset.

He does but he has no clue how to adjust.  He knows and runs his defense one way and that is it.  Live and die by it.

We're going 10-6.

My above comment was made five weeks ago, but much has changed in particular my impression of a few positions appearing not quite as good as previously thought. I'm sticking with original range where I said 8-8 plus or minus two games, but now instead of refining my prediction to the higher end of this range, I'm now leaning toward the lower end of this range.

In other words, I'm now predicting 7-9 plus or minus one game.

This year, I have a gut feeling somethings going to change and I know every year is "our year" and we always fall flat but with the level of talent we currently have there's only 2 things we need for a winning season

Fournette giving us a legit threat of a running game, and Bortles limiting his turnovers by any means. These 2 will go hand-n-hand. anyways.

11-5 is my final prediction, this will fall on Blakes shoulders as well as Fournette but let's be real this defense is going to be the best in the league or close. 

GO JAGS

That's a bold prediction. But I think this 11 - 5 prediction will be intercepted and ran back for 5 - 11 this year. Because Bortles. 

I honestly see four to six winnable games this year. And they're the obvious games. We should be able to beat the Jets, Browns, 49ers & Rams. And I think we'll upset the tinhorns, clots or tacks at least once out of six contests in total between us in the division. 

Other than that. Just look away. 

I say they peak at 7-9. The potential to get more is there but from the coaches on down, this team doesn't know how to win.
