Honestly, I don't think either team will win another game this year.  The Jaguars certainly won't be a favorite in any one game, but upsets happen.  We weren't favored against the Colts, but we beat them and we play them again.  We were big under dogs against the Titans (currently 5-0) and came within 3 points of beating them.  With 10 games remaining, we could get lucky.  Other teams are made up of human beings.  People can have bad days.  If the other team fumbles the ball or gives up a couple of interceptions and Minshew plays well, we could get lucky and squeak one out.  With 10 chances, it may not be probable, but isn't unrealistic.

The difference is that the Jets are THAT bad.  You could give them a couple of unforced turnovers and would still likely lose to everyone on their schedule.  Maybe they get lucky once in one game, but lighting striking twice for them seems remote.  Again, I seriously hope I'm wrong.  I really want that number one pick.  This could be franchise changing.

I hear you; and I agree for the most part.  But we are THAT bad as well... don't  kid yourself.  If the Jets get Darnold back healthy and a few guys on defense, they have a better shot at winning games than we do.  Indy was good fortune of scheduling in Week 1 of a COVID season with no preseason games and a new offense they hadn't scouted yet.  Similar with Tennessee...they will both murder us next time around.  Houston is bad, but WAYYYY better than us.
