Jacksonville Jaguars (11-5)

Biggest Strength:  Receiving Corps

Quite the group that Jacksonville has put together here.  Of course it starts at the top with Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns who both put up over 1,000 yards and double digit touchdowns last season.  It goes further than that though.  One must not forget Marqis Lee and Rashad Greene are also part of that group, not to mention tight ends Julius Thomas and Marcedes Lewis.  Lot of weapons.

Biggest Weakness:  Offensive Line

In the euphoria of seeing how good this team can be, it’s easy to forget they aren’t perfect by any means.  Take their offensive line for example.  This is a group that allowed Blake Bortles to get sacked 51 times in 2015 and blocked for the 27th ranked rushing attack.  Neither of those stats are at all encouraging.  Their lone notable addition to the roster was veteran Kelvin Beachem, who’s coming off a season-ending knee injury.

Final Record Reason

The tipping point for this team in 2016 will be the defense.  On paper it has improved by leaps and bounds with additions like Malik Jackson, Tashaun Gipson, Jalen Ramsey and Myles Jack.  They have to play the games though and if they’re able to play up to their potential, in conjunction with a maturing offense this team will finally break through to the playoffs with a division title.
