The Jags will play the AFC South (of course) two games against:

• Indy
  
• Houston
  
• Tennessee
  

The AFC East:

• New England
  
• Buffalo
  
• Miami
  
• NYJets
  

The NFC South:

• Carolina
  
• New Orleans
  
• Atlanta
  
• Tampa Bay
  

AFC 3rd place finishers

• San Diego
  
• Baltimore
  

 

The six teams in bold are teams that have struggled to finish .500 over the last five years. The problem is that the Jags are actually in that same group. 

 

There's nothing saying the Jags can't go from "worst to first" happens all the time in the NFL & believe it or not, I think you have the tools to do it. I just don't think it's going to happen. Especially not this year because you're playing some of the better teams in the league... New England, Indy, Baltimore, San Diego & who knows what the NFC South is going to look like next season. 

 

But those five teams, you should beat. Six games, Tennessee twice. So if I were the owner, those six games are the games I'm going to be judging my franchise on. If we don't win one, I'm going to want to know why not. & I'm going to want some real answers. 

 

The other ten games... we better win some of them too. I'd expect 2-4 against the NFC South. We've got problems, they've got problems, I'm not going to accept all four of those teams fixing their problems enough to where we don't win two of those games. 

 

There's no reason you shouldn't expect to win a game against the Texans & the Colts. They aren't that good, same with San Diego. Those five games can go either way, again... I would be very upset if we don't win at least one of those. 

 

Baltimore & New England... I know those are long shots. I expect to win, I expect to be competitive, but if the Jags don't win, I'm not too bent out of shape. 

 

So if I were Khan, I'm expecting between 8 & 10 wins. The further below eight, the more upset I would be.
