Quote:When you look at Yahoo picks or the expert picks they show like 80-something percent picking the Ravens, although last night on the Sirius NFL channel, there were a bunch of picks coming in for the Jaguars. You're typical casual fan outside of Jacksonville is saying Ravens, which makes sense considering the Jaguars are a 5 1/2 point underdog, but quite a few really in the know are saying Jaguars.


 

Some in the media picking the Jaguars include Boomer Esiason, Jason La Canfora and Dave Richard from CBS Sports, Mike Golic, KC Joyner and Mark Schlereth from ESPN, Adam Meyer and Ryan Fowler from FOX Sports, Mark Malone and Tony Boselli from Westwood One, and Mark Sessler from NFL Network.

 

Yea,  I am noticing that a lot of the league guys and announcers and other people who are outside of your typical fan are starting to notice the foundation that is being built.  There is no denying that the casual fan will pick the Ravens.  Over the last decade the Ravens have been really good and the Jags really bad.  That being said, I am noticing more and more picks coming the Jags way, even last week in NY.
