Thanks JagFantasic24 for getting this thread going this week. 10 hour workday + 3 hours a day on the road + crappy Jags season = very tired and apathetic fan.
Jags @ Titans
Word is that Shad Khan had a pep talk with the team this week. I also heard Malik Jackson's locker room interview expressing how contrite he was for getting ejected from the Raider game. Most disturbingly I heard the sounds of ping pong being played in the background. 2-4 and they still have time for ping pong. Its seemingly obvious that this team is in year 4 in Gus Bradley's vacation land, so I can't help but expect a rout by yet another former Jags coach. Titans win and will have me thinking about next years draft before Halloween.
Lions @ Texans
2 mediocre teams with the Texans being slightly less mediocre and playing at home. Give me the Texans in what will probably be an ugly game.
Chiefs @ Colts
If this game was being played in Arrowhead this would be an easy pick, but since it's in Lucas Oil it's a bit tricky. The Colts was able to dismantle the Chargers after they blew our doors off. Another AFC West team going to Indy with a QB that's not as good as Philip Rivers. Give me the Colts to win and scratch their way a little closer to the division lead.
It's a damn shame that the Jaguars are still in the position of losing to bad teams after four years of rebuilding, but they are. That's why I'll take the tacks to win on Thursday.
I'll also take the chiefs and texans to win.
13-3 overall.
this week im going to go with
Colts
Texans
Jags
Week # 7 results: 2-1
Overall results: 18-5
Week # 8 selections:
Tennessee: Though Tennessee has plenty of injuries on their Offensive Line and Secondary, at this point in time I don't have enough confidence in the Jaguars Offense, particularly Blake Bortles, to select them. Especially on the road. On paper, the Jaguars are the better team but most of you know better than me, something ( s ) clearly isn't right with the team. Dick LeBeau, regardless of his age, is still a high caliber Defensive Coordinator. Not a good situation with a struggling QB to face a LeBeau Defense, even with him not playing with a full player deck because of injuries.
Detroit: The hamstring injury to CB Darius Slay concerns me greatly. But overall the Lions injury situation is improving and Matthew Stafford is playing at a very high level. Though the Texans are 4-0 at home, I think the Lions will find a way to win this game. With yet another close game likely regardless of the outcome.
Kansas City: The Colts have the better QB but the Chiefs clearly have the better roster.
Jags over tacks - wishful thinking, even if we win gus is still gone at end of season, if we DO lose...omg, some heads will finally start rolling....starting with olson.
Chiefs over clots - most everyone beats this division
Lions over 'horns - ditto

Chiefs
Jags
I am going full homer this week. Jags do just enough to save gus, before losing w/e game they play the next week.
Chiefs are a good team with a great coach and a good ground game, Colts are not. Chiefs thump em
Lions are on a hot streak and Houstan just isnt getting it done. I am going with the Lions.
Whelp Texans at home, I guess the homefield advantage is real. And I will not pick the Jags again for awhile.
1-2 this week
8-4 overall
Quote:14 - 9 Overall
At Tennessee -3.5 Jacksonville
43.5
They're only giving the Tacks a .5 over Homefield Advantage, I'll Go with the Jags
At Houston
-2.5 Detroit 45
Have to go with Houston at Home
Kansas City
-2.5 At Indianapolis 50
This game is a toss up to me, not even giving the Clots 3 point Homefield but I think I'll have to go with KC on this one
