Well, you can't KNOW how they will do with anything but a guessing, and even after the draft and free agency, it might not be much less of a guess, but as a few have said, just for fun, I like trying to predict.

What we DO know at this point is their schedule, so let's start there.

TN x 2
Indy X 2
Hous x 2

Not only are all 3 div. opponents coming off winning records, ALL appear to be on the upswing. (2 teams went to the playoffs, and TN was very nearly a 3rd) Yes, I know, I know: last year's success is no guarantee of continued success the following season (look no further than the Jags the last two years). But assuming injuries don't slam anyone, I'm going to predict all 3 div. opponents remain strong and if that's the case, Jags go 3-3 vs them. Could be 4-2 or 2-4. But inner div. appears as tough as any.

@Den. - Usually a tough game at their place. Without knowing their QB who knows. Their D could be tough. I'll call it an L.

KC - Weak D, but what firepower on O. Surprise W.

@ Oak. - Still rebuilding. W.

@ LAC. Still very solid. L.

@ Atl. - Jekyll and Hyde. W.

@ Car. - IDK, will Cam be playing? L.

NO - L.

TB - I am waiting for a breakthrough season at some point, but, W.

Cinci - W

Jets - W.

8-8 on the low side, 9-7 medium, with chance of 10-6, if they offer decent QB play one way or another.

I'm gonna revise to 5-11 on low side. Every single team in div. is a playoff contender now. TN, Hous. and Indy will ALL be able to contend with winning records. Now add in KC, N.O., Rams, @Denver....yikes. It will come down to chemistry, or lack thereof. Hopefully, they learned a little about humility, especially Ramsey, and the way he ran his pie hole last year. I really hope he learned his lesson.

I hope Tom put a sneaker up his rear, but these days, who knows if teams can even discipline players, other than the Pats.
