When I ran through the first batch of the schedule, I had Jacksonville winning 11 games. But I had to temper that back down. I think the Jaguars are closer to contending than being a teardown job, but I don’t think they’re going to pull off what the Commanders did last season. Trevor Lawrence still needs to show that he can be consistent. The defense was atrocious last season. I do believe that a new coaching staff will account for better playcalling and a more unified leadership. I see a tough start for the Jaguars, but things will smooth out in the second half. Looking at the schedule, I see a similar start like Doug Pederson’s first year; struggles early (2-5) before a 7-3 finish. I don’t think they win the AFC South but I do think they finish behind the Texans and nab a wild-card berth.

I can’t say it enough: I believe in first-year head coaches being able to surprise people. I’m pretty happy with how the Jaguars schedule fell. But it will be a rough early. I have them at 3-4 when they get to the bye week, so I’m sure folks will be a little on the fence. But the second half of the schedule is much more friendly. I think they roll the rest of the way, get hot and finish hot. I have them winning seven games down the stretch, enough to win the AFC South and earn a spot in the postseason. I’d say that is a pretty successful first season for Liam Coen. Wouldn’t you?
P.S.: Let’s get crazy I think Travis Hunter wins offensive and defensive rookie of the year.

I say it all the time, I’m usually not a fan of predicting records, especially not when it comes to the Jaguars. But this year? It just feels different. There’s a different “aura” to this team. A first-year head coach in Liam Coen, a first-time GM in James Gladstone, and a bold move up the draft board to grab Travis Hunter. It all screams fresh start.
And there’s real energy around this group right now. The kind of energy you can’t fake. Fans feel it. The city feels it. And I’d bet the locker room feels it, too. I’ve got the Jags still trying to figure it out early, starting out 4-3 going into the bye week. It’s not great, but not a disaster either. The early slates tough and some of those games could go either way. But after the break? I think they figure it out. I don’t see them sweeping any AFC South opponent this year, but I do think they find a groove, and rattle off six wins down the stretch. That would put them at 10–7, good enough to win the AFC South and potentially snag a playoff spot.
