Really? I mean I give the Jags a great chance of winning. But it will not only be an upset in New England. The Jags are legit 7-8 point underdogs. They are viewed that way just about everywhere. They are a 10-6 team against the 2nd weakest schedule in the league. The Pats are 13-3 and won 11 of their last 12 in the regular season. It's ok to believe your team is going to win, and of course you should root hard for that, but NE is the legit favorite. Does not mean it will play out that way, but you are kidding yourself if you think most knowledgable football people think NE is the underdog.

I don't agree NE is an underdog.  BUT, they also only won 11 of their last 12 because the NFL/refs took away the Steelers touchdown...and we've beaten the Steelers twice.

I do believe we will win and while yes I'm a fan it's not my fandom that thinks, it's because this team was designed IMHO to beat the Patriots.

This is the best team the Jags have ever had IMO, and without any doubt the greatest defense we have ever fielded.  We have a D-Line that creates pressure with 4; rangy, fast, athletic LBs; 2 ELITE shutdown corners; 2 top-level safeties and a CB3 who would start on every other team as their #1 or 2 guy.

This should be a fun game to watch.
