Can we all agree to root for Jax against the Pats?

The Jags need to do to Brady what many teams did to Dan Marino in his playoff losses. Keep him off the field, Fournette and the OL need to have a monster game for the Jags to have a chance. I don't believe the Jacksonville offense can do another high scoring performance 2 games in a row.

There in lies the problem. Patriots don't normally give up monster games to running backs. Especially in the playoffs. Henry put up 191 scrimmage yards against Chiefs but then was held to 49 yards against NE. Fournette only put up 119 against the Steelers but had 3 TD's. The Patriots have only allowed 6 rushing TD's all season. And 2 were in the opening game loss. So count on Fournette not being able to contribute as much.
 
The Jags have no shot. That GREAT Jacksonville defense gave up 37 to Tennessee (LOL), 44 to SF, 42 last Sunday to he Steelers and lost to the Jets and Cardinals. If Josh McCown put up 23 on that defense you really think Brady is putting up less than 30? HAHAHAHA! NE will figure things out and score plenty of points. I think the Jags will struggle even more on offense then on defense. They will be lucky to put up 14 points on the Patriots. I don't think Mariota is very good but I trust him more than Bortles and he put up 14. NE will stuff Fournette, who was in a car accident today but supposedly uninjured, and make Bortles beat them only much like Tennessee the Jags don't have the horses at WR to beat the Patriots talented secondary. For the Jags to have any chance their offensive line is gonna have to dominate loaded fronts in order to get Fournette going and keep it really close and low scoring. They won't be able to do either and once JAX is playing catch up, change the station.

This is a laugher, NE 31, JAX 10

I think we're overrating the young Jax defense. NE will not need to consistently beat Ramsey and Bouye to win.

Just want to point out before someone says, "well NE lost to us" that was without Gronk and Van Noy. Those are HUGE losses for this current Pats team.

Jags will stun the world as the Patriots' smoke and mirrors turn into fog blinding Belichick and Brady lol.

I am predicting Jags 27 Patriots 24.

With 30 seconds left in the 4th quarter. Patriots with the ball on the Jags 38. Brady is hit by Calais Campbell knocking Brady's helmet off just before he gets the ball away to the Meathead. The ball bounces off Meathead's facemask into the hands of A.J. Bouye. The ref who was about to throw a flag on Campbell for touching Brady is viciously hit and knocked out cold by the raging Meathead. The remaining officials dazed and confused just stand there while Bouye is finally tripped up by an insanely angry Giselle who somehow snuck onto the field. Too late. Chaos and more confusion commences as time expires. The officials still in a daze are unable to gather themselves together to figure out a way to hand a win to Patriots. With no other options available reluctantly the Jaguars are declared AFC Champions.

Eh pats are 20th in rushing offense and last 5 games of the season gave up 183, 120, 143, 84, and 40 to the Bills, Dolphins, Steelers, Bills, and Jets. You can definitely run on them this year. Maybe not score on ground but maybe make it a FG game 13-10 jaguars?
 
On paper the Jags don't have a shot and they are the clear underdog here....but the "any given Sunday" rule applies. I am definitely rooting for them.....

People said the Gaints had no shot. The Jags being in this position is not luck....it’s the Coughlin effect. People are crazy to think that he doesn’t have input. A Coughlin led team save us from Brady being 7-0 in SBs. The Jags also ended Jim Kelly’s career in the playoffs which will happen to Brady Sunday. I was telling my friends in November that this is the game I wanted to see. The only reason Big Ben put up 42 points against the Jags is because he is a sandlot QB. Brady falls apart under pressure like that. I’m hoping for a **** ton of snow so the passing game will be effected.

There’s not going to be any snow. It’s actually going to be warmer than it has been. The rest of your prediction will prove as accurate. NE will be going to the Super Bowl, again.
