Between the AFC East and NFC North opponents. There's wins to be had. Plenty of wins. The only challenging teams from those two divisions are, in my opinion, the Packers, Bills and Lions. The rest of those teams? The Bears, Vikings, Dolphins, Patriots and Jets are all very winnable games, and, historically? 

They favor the Jaguars in the win/loss column. Jacksonville especially. We've had Buffalo's number for the past few years with Josh Allen there. We're looking at the Bears, Patriots and Vikings with new questions at QB. We've beat the Jets the last few times we've seen them. The Dolphins are a little overrated. 

The only two teams, again, that really concern me from both divisions combined are the Packers and Lions. Then we get the Browns and Raiders as outliers. Which could go either way, but, again, both teams have questionable QB situations as well. 

It's fine though. Keep on sleeping on the Jaguars. We love it. This team went 8 - 3 last year and were just a few dropped TD's away from being 9 - 2 or 10 - 1 at that point in the season. This team is not that far off. It was just the injuries that kept racking up and racking up fast. Essentially had Lawrence start to physically decline with the ankle injury, then Kirk went out and it was a wrap from there.

Hear me now, believe me later. Jacksonville is a better football team than people realize and Lawrence is being severely underrated and slept on right now.

I have been saying the Jags have a very good roster, & coaching staff. Some here have told me that the roster basically sucks and it's all Trevor as the reason they are a playoff contender. I am certainly not "sleeping" on Jax. Of the 3(Jets, Jags, Texans) I would leave the Texans as the team out of the playoffs. I know they had one decent season, but like the Lions winning the North once in 30 years, does not make them Kings Of The North. A division the Packers have dominated for many years.

If I am not sold on anyone it's the Texans.
