Panther - Jags Picks

The media and public in general are fairly evenly split when predicting the outcome of Sunday's Panthers-Jaguars matchup. 

CBS is split 4-3 in favor of the Jaguars. 

ESPN has quickly become the bottom of the barrel for sports news and analysis, but here are their picks anyways... they are split down the middle. Three for the Jags, three for the Panthers. 

 

Microsoft Cortana is an interesting way of predicting games

Cortana uses an algorithm put together by Bing Predicts to pick an outright winner in every NFL game. The algorithm takes into account advanced stats and home-field advantage, and there's a public-perception element that incorporates data from Twitter and Facebook.

Last season, Cortana correctly predicted 67% of all NFL games. It has since picked 71% of Wimbledon results and 75% of the Women's World Cup knockout stage correctly. The model has dabbled in areas outside of sports — including American Idol and the Grammys — but is sticking to sports this NFL season.

This week Cortana gives the Panthers a 58.2% chance of sweet victory. 

Finally, on NFL.com, fan consensus says the Panthers win.

According to my brother, avid Jags fan, the defense is really improved. They are expecting A. Robinson to really break out (as am I for fantasy sake) and if they can get the run game going they will be dangerous on offense. All that said they are a young, inexperienced team. I think our defense will shut it down and possibly even get a TD or 2.

The Jags defense is LEGIT...and their offense actually looked decent in the preseason...and they are at home...

It's why i'm didn't pick Carolina for my suicide pick this week...

I think Carolina will win though...it's just going to be in ugly fashion...13 -10 type of victory...

It's looking like Josh Norman is going to play which will neutralize Allen Robinson...our D-Line can neutralize Yeldon...we should be fine...

This just feels to me like one of those games that I get my hopes and expectations up just to have my heart ripped out of my chest and shoved up my ass, so because of this, I'm going into the game kind of on the fence.  I think we should win, but we've lost easier games at more inopportune times.  Also, last week was essentially a bye week with the starters getting time off, and we all know what bye weeks mean in Rivera-land.

Losing to the Jags would point to our team being one of the worst teams in the NFL. Of course it's only one game, but the Jags are one of the worst teams we'll face this season. If we can't even beat the bottom feeding Jags (and no their offense is not good) then we're in for probably a terrible season.

    • I watch a ton of NFL because the product on the field is still the best on the planet. But, that will only get you so far. US sports fans are an aging crowd so there will be a dramatic drop when the Boomers die off and the GenXers do, as well.  The Millennials will probably be the last major generation that watches sports in high numbers. 
    • The Bryce stanning is relentless.    Cam’s team won two games the previous season and legit was picking 1st. Bryce’s team won 7 games the previous season and was actually in playoff contention. And legit earned the 9th overall pick.  If anything made that team worse in 2023 than in 2022 it was Bryce. Come on. And missing DJ, I’ll concede that.    
    • I see the logic in what you're saying, but I'd also say there were games with a bit more talent on the roster that some of the L's are actually W's.  AZ - We don't get off to a crappy start and if this game is later in the season when Bryce is a bit more comfortable, I think we beat the Cards NO - At least one of, if not both of these games would've gone our way SF - Perfect opportunity to snag a win on the road that Purdy handed to us, but we couldn't do anything offensively TB - Final game was winnable in Tampa  All this to say, I think 8 wins is about where we were at in 2025 if you take the games we barely won and combined them against the games that we barely lost.  Add 5-6 new pieces in FA and the draft. We went head to head and almost beat the Rams in a meaningful playoff game that gave a lot of the youth that experience to take into 2026 and beyond, and I do think 10-11 wins is achievable next year.  Not guaranteed, but much the way folks thought we could get to 8 or 9 wins this year as the ceiling, I think 10-11 is the new ceiling for next year.
