This Week in the AFC South-Week 4

#21

(09-26-2018, 09:39 PM)Bullseye Wrote: Last week, the defending AFC South champion Jaguars blew a great opportunity to seize firm control of the division.  Instead of having a two game lead over everyone else in the division, they find themselves technically in 2nd place behind the tacks as a function of the 9-6 loss to them. meanwhile, the Colts found themselves in a close competitive game to the World Champion Eagles, but ultimately on the losing end.  finally, despite three (3) sacks from J.J. Watt, the Texans remain winless, losing in their home opener to the previously winless N.Y. Giants.  However, this week presents a new opportunity for the good guys to prevail once again.  Pick wise, I continue to struggle, posting my second straight one win week.  However, the sting of mediocrity or worse was not mitigated by a Jaguars win.  Hopefully, both the jaguars and myself can bounce back in spectacular form.

On to my picks...

Tinhorns (0-3) at Colts (1-2)-The improved Colts host the winless Tinhorns in a divisional match up.  The tinhorns have to be at desperation stage at this point, and the Colts want to stay within a reasonable distance of the leaders.  If the tinhorns lose, will O'Brien be officially on the hot seat in Houston?  i've been picking the texans the first three weeks and have been burned.  My inclination is to now pick against them until they prove they can win.  Of course, at the rate my picking is going, this will be the week they get in the win column.  Colts 21-Texans 17.

Eagles (2-1) at tacks (2-1)  Typing this through clenched teeth, the tough and resourceful tacks host the defending Super bowl champion Eagles.  The tacks seem to be getting healthier, as RT Conklin may return to action.  However, I think the Eagles are a better team, and I have no evidence to suggest the tacks have the Eagles' number like they seem to have the Jaguars.  The tack stay in first place is short lived.  Eagles 26 tacks 17.

N.Y. Jets (1-2) at Jaguars (2-1)-in a lot of ways, the jets offer many of the same matchup problems the tacks offer.  They have a strong front seven.  However, even healthier, they don't have the same quality of OL the tacks offer.  plus they are playing a rookie QB, and I don't see a rookie QB having too much success against this derfense, determined to atone for both last week's loss to the tacks, and last year's loss to these jets.  Jaguars 24, Jets 10.

Last week:  1-2
Overall:  4-6

Last week 2-1
Overall 3-3
Colts over Texans - At some point the Texans will win a game, I just don't think this is it.
Eagles over Tacks- I am picking the iggles talent here. They won't be held to 6 points
Jags over Jets - I have already predicted a low scoring game, and a defensive TD from the Jags to win it. I think this will be ugly again.


Yes, it's improvement, but it's Blaine Gabbert 2012 level improvement. - Pirkster
