This week, we asked Jacksonville Jaguars fans who they expect to win the division this season.

Two-thirds of voters chose the hometown team, with the other third buying into the Colts’ hype.

Here are the current odds for each team to win the AFC South, per FanDuel Sportsbook.

Indianapolis Colts (3-0): -140
Jacksonville Jaguars (2-1): +175
Houston Texans (0-3): +750
Tennessee Titans (0-3): +4500

As for the confidence survey, 88% of fans are confident in the direction of the team — up from 77% last week.

We should learn a lot about the Jaguars over the next month. They’ll face the 49ers, Chiefs, Seahawks, and Rams before their Week 8 bye.

As for Sunday’s game, defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile says the Niners offense presents “a lot” of problems. “They do a great job in the run game, play action pass. Having played them in the past, I think they’re as good as anybody when it comes to that, and they do a really good job in the dropback game, constant movement before the snap and just the motions, making sure everybody’s on the same page, communication and getting lined up. So yeah, they present a lot of issues.”

Meanwhile, offensive coordinator Grant Udinski says the Niners defense presents problems “on all three levels. The pass rush, you see those guys getting off the ball, then the linebackers, [Fred] Warner obviously makes plays all over the field … at the third level, they challenge guys in the back end, track the ball, ball skills. So, there’s a reason the defense has put up the numbers they put up and perform the way they performed, really because of the way they execute and the guys they have and the way they play.”

The Colts will fly to Los Angeles this week to face the Rams. Depending on how these two West Coast games shake out, the Jaguars could be tied for first in the AFC South after four games.

Top comments from Wednesday’s post (wasn’t expecting that much Trevor pessimism!):

Could be…The worm does turn sometimes.

Let’s just hope this doesn’t turn into an almost decade run like the Manning yrs.

Their defense is playing good. They have a decent running game, the QB and the rest of the offense is playing well. So there’s little room for errors on our part for right now it seems.

This is shaping up to be a season where the winner of the AFC South is (again) decided by the back half. We have a relatively easy end to the season.

We get to have 4 of our last 6 games as Divisional games. I’m excited to see what meaningful football in December is like.

Not including this early season, doesn’t Trevor Lawrence and Daniel Jones have similar numbers?

There is an argument to be made that Houston and Indy have better defenses. But even that is debatable with Jags leading the league in turnovers through three games. But it’s a Passing league now and Trevor Lawrence, as much as it pains me to say it, isn’t playing better than Daniel Jones, is half the QB CJ Stroud is and is only better than struggling Rookie Cam over there in Tennessee until he figures things out. And that imposter posing as BTjr isn’t helping things either. But it’s the abhorrent misusage of Travis Hunter that I feel is throwing this entire offense and Team as a whole, into perpetual dysfunction.

Probably the Dolts will win the division, unless they have a major collapse. I’ll be content with getting a wild card spot because we’re not ready collectively to compete against a first place schedule next season. Let Indiana Jones and crew deal with that…for now.

“Are we headed in the right direction”

We are probably headed in a better direction than we were previously. Not sure if it’s “the right direction”, but an improvement.

But it’s like you’re driving on the highway and instead of heading to Philly, now you’re headed to New Jersey.

“Who is going to win the division”

Us, probably. Not necessarily because we are one of the best 8 teams in the NFL, but because the other 3 teams in the AFC South seem to be having an even worse psychotic breakdown than we are experiencing.

Jags are 2-1

Probably the Colts unless our WRs and QB can get their stuff together.

Best case scenario is we luck into winning the division, the browns get our foolishly given away 1st and other round picks.

The next yr we get a first place schedule and get taken to the woodshed.

Which will allow us to get the replacement for 16. Letting the newly drafted QB sit a yr, practice and learn what not to do in real time on the sideline.

Then we can cut the albatross away from our necks without a financial hit I believe. Or at the least significantly less.

If we get lucky and someone is desperate enough maybe even get an xtra 3rd or 4th round pick out of the deal.
