Teams win games every week that on paper, they shouldn't win. It will happen again. As for the Falcons, they've been without Julio Jones. Once he comes back, I can see them winning a couple games. I could see the Giants beating Washington twice and Dallas now that Dax is out. On paper, I see no winnable games for the Jets. They look completely inept at everything. With that said, realistically, I think they end up with 1-2 wins. I also think we will ultimately win two more completely meaningless games at the end of the season, just to screw up our final draft position. That is what I have come to expect from this team. 

There is two "prize" players in the next draft, QB Trevor Lawrence and LT Penei Sewell. I completely expect them to go #1 and #2. Lawrence is a franchise type QB and Sewell is a generational LT. We could desperately use both and I fully expect to miss out on both players.

I take little solace in the Any Given Sunday thing,

The way the Jaguars existence has been, it has always worked against the Jaguars.

We are snakebitten when it comes to the top overall pick.

During expansion, we lost the coin toss to Carolina, and they wound up with the top overall pick.  Granted we wound up getting the better pick (Boselli vs Carolina trading down and getting Kerry Collins).

But then in 2012, we wound up finishing 2-14, but the Chiefs wound up with the #1 overall pick.  They wound up with a decent LT, while we were at #2 and wound up with Joeckel.

I would hate to see us finish 1-15, only to pick #2 at best in a year with Trevor Lawrence.
