However, on a good note, the rest of the division lost too.  The loathsome and detestable tacks lost to the Cheatriots in a game where a lot went wrong for them...like their kicker hitting the upright...twice.  The Colts lost a tough game at home to the champion Bucs, in what seemed a case of next week karma.  Jon Taylor ran for 5 TDs against the Bills two weeks agi, but last week, former Jaguar 1st round pick Leonard Fournette scored 4 TDs against the Colts.   Finally, the Texans lost to the Jets in undoubtedly one of the uglier games.

Picks wise, aside from not keeping a handle on my Jaguars homerism, I otherwise did okay picking last week finishing 3-1.

The tacks have the bye this week, so there are only two divisional games on the slate.  It looks like an easy week, but anything can happen theoretically.

My picks:

Colts (6-6) at Texans (2-9)-This game will get ugly.  Though the Colts lost last week, they have been playing well of late.  Texans are not match for them.  Screw em both, I say, but the Colts win 31-10.

Jaguars (2-9) at L.A. Rams (7-4)-The Rams have lost 3 straight games despite having a roster that, on paper, has to rank among the most talented in the league.  But fear not, Rams fans.  Your slump buster is here with the Jaguars.  I see no way the Jaguars control Aaron Donald, especially when the team struggled to block Grady Jarrett last week.  I see no way Jawaan Taylor successfully blocks Von Miller.  I see no way any of our receivers beat Jalen Ramsey.  I see no way the Jaguars win on the West Coast. Maybe if the Jaguars dedicate themselves toa a physical run oriented attack and create some turnovers on defense, they can flirt with keeping things respectable.  But who am I kidding?   This one will produce projectile vomiting for us Jaguars fans.  Rams win 27-7.

Last Week:  3-1
Overall:  27-12
