Metaprediction on the season.

This is where we see what the rest of the NFL predicts for the Jaguars record indirectly by whether opponent ESPN writers think the team they cover wins vs the Jaguars.

Humorously enough the rest of the AFCS writers think their teams get swept by the Jaguars, so the prediction is for the Jaguars to go 6-0 in the AFCS.
The Eagles writer thinks they beat the Jaguars in London.
The Chiefs writer thinks they lose.
The steelers writer thinks they win.
Bills writer thinks they win, too.
Dolphins think they lose.
Pats thinks they lose.
Jets think they lose.
cowboys think they lose.
giants think they lose.
redskins think they lose.

So, essentially, the rest of the NFL sees the Jaguars this season as a 13-3 team.

I think the steelers writer is being rather unrealistic about winning at Jax, and the Eagles probably get a rude awakening in London, too, but I also think it's not likely the jaguars go 6-0 in the AFCS and probably drop one or two between the four games they play against the titans and texans. Clearly the Bills writer just needs to put down the pipe.

It's also an interesting exercise in that at this time of the year every writer is overestimating the team they cover. No writer in the AFCS thinks their team will have a losing record on the season, for example, even though they all think they drop two to the Jaguars.

I've said it many times, and it looks like the NFL essentially agrees with me that last year's team (and by extension this year's team, too) is much closer to a 13-14 win team than it is to a 7-8 win team.

I just cant believe the Bills writer seriously just expects to win. Pretty much every Bills fan I see, while they like to talk trash, don't seriously expect to win that game.
IT WAS ALWAYS THE JAGS

Probably was written with no knowledge A. J. McCarron was going to be traded to the Oakland Raiders.

Dude even with McCarron they weren’t winning.

Hahahaha because McCarron would have helped them?!

The Bills have the worst roster in the NFL. Allen is going to get absolutely abused in this game. Can’t wait.
