AFC South Week 3 Predictions

#43

Quote:The unmitigated disaster that is the start of the season continued last week for me (picking wise) and my team.

 

However, this is a new week, and theoretically there is a chance to turn things around.

 

Ravens (2-0) at Jaguars (0-2)-I know the Jaguars are more talented than their record shows and their performance last week showed.  But as Parcells famously observed "You are what your record says you are."  Flacco, while a good QB, doesn't give us the problems Phillip Rivers has.  But after years of defending him because of the bad roster he inherited, I no longer give Bradley the benefit of the doubt, because the roster is no longer the issue, though OL is still a problem.  Until he demonstrates he can consistently get this team ready to play, I cannot pick them to win against any respectable team.  I hope I'm wrong, but Ravens win 24-16.

 

Chargers (1-1) at Colts (0-2)-While the Chargers are not as good as they looked against us last week, that performance, combined with their dominance of KC for 3 quarters in week one shows they aren't as bad as they were last year.  That said, they travel to Indy down their top two receivers and RB Danny Woodhead-all down for the year.  While the Colts are shorthanded, too, I think being at home will help Indy get their first win.  Colts win 30-24.

 

Last week:  1-3

Overall:  2-6

 

Womp womp!

 

Oakland (1-1) at Tennessee (1-1)-Oakland, seen as a team on the rise, travels east to face a Tennessee team that upset Detroit last week in a battle of former Jaguars coaches.  Tennessee has a decent nucleus, but is not as far along in their rebuild as the Raiders.  Oakland wins 21-17.

 

Texans (2-0) at Patriots (2-0)-I see the Patriots going into this week as the "Bizarro Jaguars."  They have arguably the best coach of all time, but they are going into tomorrow night's game against the Texans minus Brady, Garoppolo and Gronk.  Being that short handed with a rookie QB at the helm on a short week against a defense as good as the Texans is too much to ask.  Texans win 24-10.


3-1 this week

5-7 overall.


Would have been nice if the Jaguars proved me wrong.
 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!
