This marks the beginning of the 10th Season of Bullseye's legendary "This Week in the AFC South" series.  Thanks to Bullseye's motivation, this pleasant annual offering since 2014 has helped many on this board find added enjoyment in football and has also kept people interested in football while suffering through numerous abysmal Jaguar seasons.  If you haven't participated before, then welcome!  If you have participated in the past, then welcome back!

Since this is the 10th season, I'd like to take some time to recognize the previous winners of this event.  Below are the past winners/records:

1st Season (2014):   COLTSWARRIORS  (39-13)
2nd Season (2015):   COLTSWARRIORS, JAGHERD  (30-19)
3rd Season (2016):   COLTSWARRIORS  (35-17)
4th Season (2017):   UNF_NASHVILLIAN  (39-13)
5th Season (2018):   SELDOMRITE  (32-18)
6th Season (2019):   KODIAKJAG  (34-18)
7th Season (2020):   BULLSEYE  (39-13)
8th Season (2021):   BULLSEYE, RICO, UNF_NASHVILLIAN  (39-17)
9th Season (2022):   RICO  (41-14-1)
10th Season (2023):   ??


The 2023 season finds the Jaguars in the unusual position of being largely expected to win the AFC South division.  Jaguars starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence was the beneficiary of a significant upgrade in the coaching ranks last season, and appears ready to put up some great numbers this year.  Two other divisional contenders (Colts & Texans) will be starting rookie quarterbacks.  The Titans appear to be ready to roll with Tannehill for another season, banking on another strong running performance from Derrick Henry.  In spite of the expansion of the playoff format the AFCS is expected to yield a single playoff berth.  I will make my picks later in this thread.  Good luck to all who choose to participate!  All games listed below are on Sunday (9/10/2023), so please get your picks in before then.


Game 1:  Titans at Saints
Game 2:  Texans at Ravens
Game 3:  Jaguars at Colts

Dang, son. You trying to make Bullseye jealous?

Nice work digging up the history of TWITAFCS. That's stuff I never knew
