Around SBN: NFL Week One: Previews and Predictions for all 15 games

Who are we rooting for this week????

Our beloved Jags stand at 6-4 carrying a 3 game winning streak and still facing a very winnable 3 game span prior to the prime-time showdown vs the Colts.

This next game, I think, WILL define how this season ends for the Jaguars. If they manage to beat the 49ers tomorrow, this team WILL win the next 2 games and host the Colts at 9-4, leading the Wild card race. If they loose tomorrow then unless we have a lot of luck and see meltdowns both in the NFC North and the west, the Jaguars will end having a fabulous season, yet out of the playoff picture.

 

So Again the team we MUST root for the most is obviously the Jaguars!!!!

 

But Eventhough this team led the Wildcard race prior to the start of this week's games we still need any help that our rivals can give us. So lets eye the schedule and see which teams must we root for this week. (Last week every team that we needed to loose lost, so let's hope something like that happens this week).

 

NY Giants @ Denver           We rooted for: Giants

The Giants never really had a chance in this game.... that's unfortunate because the Broncos are the most direct competitor the Jags have in the Wild card race so a Giants win would've given the Jags a BIG break.

 

 

Miami @ Buffalo                We root for: Buffalo

If Buffalo could get a win in this game that would eliminate the Dolphins just as the Patriots eliminated the Jets last week. That would leave the Wild Card race to just the Jags, Steelers, Broncos, Texans and maybe Ravens (If they don't loose tomorrow). The Dolphins trail the race by far, but having direct games against the Jags, Steelers and Texans could give them the edge if they managed to win and engage in a hot streak, so we need them to be eliminated by Buffalo then pounded by the pats so that we just have to give them a couple of slaps in 3 weeks.

 

Indianapolis @ Houston                  We unfortunetely root for: Colts

Lets hope the Colts continue their winning streak and virtually eliminate the Texans from any contention, a 5-6 Texans team with just one division win is what the Jaguars need heading into next week's game. THIS IS A MUST, There is no way that we can menace the Colts division championship. So why not let them and root for them to pave our way into the playoffs??? I really wouldn't like a 6-5 Texans team coming to town with all the confidence of just having brought down the unbeatable colts. No way Jose! lets root for the Colts to shutdown Matt Schaub and the Texans offense.

 

Kansas @ San Diego                     We root for: Kansas?

I really wouldn't want to compete against the Chargers for a Wild Card spot, but now that the Broncos lead the division the Chargers turn into our competitors, so any games they can drop are just perfect for us, so lets root for the Chiefs and who knows? maybe they can deliver for the second straight week!!!

 

Arizona @ Tennesse                  We root for: Titans

I know many people don't like to root for the Titans, but I'll root for anyone if they can help the Jags playoff hopes!! So lets root for the Titans. They still have games against the Chargers and Dolphins, so keeping them motivated and dangerous can, in the future, help the Jaguars playoff chances.

 

Pitts @ Baltimor                      We root for: Baltimore

These 2 still need to play eachother twice, so lets hope they just split games. The steelers are the most direct competition for us and they are banged right now, so lets hope the loose tomorrow and leave the jags and Broncos at the top and at least one game away from the rest!!

big ben

hes out so baltimore should win…
And there is not a way im rooting for the TItans. Btw the Titans are still very much alive in the playoffs. What happens if the Jags blow up at the end of the season? I dont want to be last place AGAIN. Root for Arizonia, the Titans will be motivated anyways and it wil allow us all to take a deep breath.
BTW: MJD>Chris Johnson in all areas except speed.
Do you see CJ trucking people all over the fielld and carrying the whole cheifs team into the endzone? Did CJ get 100+ yards on the Jets? Nope.
and how bout the jaguars on tv this week. I live in MD and I finally get to see them instead of listening to Jags radio thru the internet.
Jaguars please dont disapoint…

The Titans are pretty much out of the playoff picture......

They could win every game they have left and still they wouldn’t own significant tie-breaks….. Even winning the rest of their games wouldn’t result in a sinning conference Record…..

sorry, but each week is a new and daunting challenge in my book.

Molōn labe!

Oakland and Kansas proved no game is a fix last wek.

I hope Baltimore; Indy; Kansas; Buffalo; and Arizona (someone must stop the Titans) will win

And of coure I hope the Jags can comeback from California with a BIG W!

????

I don’t understand what do you mean about Miami…..

I didn’t include Cincy because why would you root for the browns???? The bengals have a great Conference record, and I wouldn’t want to compete for a Wild card with them……..

This is in no way a prediction, I’m not saying who’s going to win, so I really can’t figure anyone as an automatic win…….

Things are shaping up nicely so far......

The Colts are winning, the Bills are defeating the Dolphins, the Bengals are beating the Browns…………..

The only “Bad” thing is that the Jets are winning, but considering their actual record and that we own them in the tie break there’s nothing to worry about………
