Injuries (or lack of) are always the biggest factor. Two years ago, the Jags were extremely fortunate in that area and almost made it to the Super Bowl. Last year was the polar opposite. In order for the Jags to have another great season, Foles and Fournette need to remain healthy and the offensive line must do the same. If all those things happen, it is POSSIBLE that the Jags win 11 games and get a 1st week playoffs bye. If significant injuries do happen, the record could be reversed to as bad as 5-11. Therefore, I will predict an 8-8 record which is right in the middle of these extremes. This record won't make many Jag fans happy, but it is realistic. Their schedule is not easy and the AFC South has improved significantly. It will be tough for this team to win any of this divisional games on the road. I predict the highlight of this season will be in week 1. They will avenge last year's humiliating loss to the Chiefs with Fournette going for 120 yards and 2 touchdowns. Our fans will be sky-high, only to be knocked off by the Texans in week 2.
