For every reason you guys think the Jags will win, I have one for thinking NE will win.

What evidence? The evidence that shows we match up well against New England?

How many Jags games did you watch this year?

As you know, there weren't many opportunities to watch the Jags this year. I do know that 2 TE sets seem to give their D trouble. Also, their defense ranks in the bottom 10 when teams use only 1 or 2 receiver sets. I've also heard from several "experts" on national TV and Sirius XM shows, that screen passes (NE's receivers and backs excel at this) give them hits. You would know better than I how true that is, but the Steelers, Titans, and 49ers carved them up pretty well.

NE's defense is just as stingy as the Jags giving up points. 

NE has home field, experience, better coaches, a 75% Brady is still better than Bortles, NE always gets its points, especially when teams blitz. 

Jags are well coached, have a very good RB, great defense, a QB who can run, but is very prone to having real stinkers.

Bottles will have to play mistake free and make plays with his legs. The Jags will have to get to Brady while rushing only 4. NE just has to play their game.
