I'm an avid listener to SiriusXM NFL Radio mostly while in the car.  I've heard several SiriusXM NFL hosts and talking heads in the media this week pick the Jags as the team most likely to take the next step this year and surprise by making the playoffs if not outright winning the division.  This evening, Gil Brandt, Rick Neuheisel and Bill Lekas all had the Jaguars as their most likely team to make that jump.  Earlier this week, I also heard Daryl Johnston being interviewed by Jim Miller and Pat Kirwan and he was also picking the Jags as his surprise team. (No pressure guys!)

 

This isn't earth shattering as I think most of us feel like we have a shot at the division and should be in contention for the playoffs come December, but it's the first week where I've heard multiple people echoing the same thing on this particular topic and I suspect it's just the beginning.  The media coverage that some have complained about not getting for so long is coming.  I hope the Jags are ready to justify it.
