The only thing is for a blow-out win by 20pts that might help soothe the pain a while longer for us fans

The odds of a blowout are 50/50.

The odds that the Jaguars are the team blowing out the Patriots is 20/80.

The patriots, for how bad they are, are still competent on Defense.  They will eat up our boring offensive game plan.  There's no way we blow these guys out.  On top of that, the Jaguars pass D is in shambles.  Unless JHA and Walker can get multiple sacks, there will be time for the rookie to pick apart our secondary.

Maybe we win.  But if we do, it'll be a nail biter. 

Here's what's more likely.  We keep it close for a couple quarters.  Then a mistake happens.  A mistake you could never imagine.  But there will be one.  And it will completely deflate the coaches and the players.  It'll be a silly play.  But it will send this entire team into chaos.  And then, the entire team folds it up.  Pat's win with a game ending FG or a blown coverage TD.
