The Jacksonville Jaguars have had a good offseason but they haven’t received the same level of hype that they did last year. It makes sense given the franchise’s general ineptitude over the last decade, with last year’s spectacular disappointment maybe the low point for the Gus Bradley and David Caldwell era.
Still, in a vacuum the Jaguars look like a pretty solid team and it would be shocking if they didn’t significantly improve their win total in 2017.
ESPN’s Sports Analytics team has put together their initial “Football Power Index” (FPI) for the 2017 season, with the Jaguars coming in at 27 overall.
