Bookies currently peg the Chargers to win nine games in 2021. That’s a fair projection considering the uncertainty of all the new personnel within the organization, but we believe they’ve nailed it with all the changes and we would not be shocked if they turn in a 12-win season given the talent.

The most recent odds project Carolina Panthers to earn 7.5 wins. However, that almost seems a little optimistic, especially coming off a 5-11 season with another new quarterback, not to mention retooling a bloated defense that ranked in the bottom third of the league.

Bookies peg the Jets to total 6.5 wins in 2021, but we are not as optimistic. Saleh is not an offensive coach, nor does he have experience in rebuilding a team. Further, we remain skeptical about the right side of the offensive line, so a 5-11 season seems more appropriate.

This is a full rebuild from top to bottom and despite bookies projecting the franchise for 6.5 wins, we feel confident enough in all the moving parts to predict that this team will outperform expectations. Let’s dissect this team position by position to find out why Jacksonville will be better than most think.
