Diverse results for Week 1 make this turnaround likely in this instate battle. The Jags pulled a monumental upset of the Defending Champion Patriots by a score of 31-24 when they outrushed New England 207 to 114. The good feelings for the 3-13 SU Jags of last year may be enough to keep them happy for the entire month following that upset.
Tampa Bay is off a double digit lost to the Bengals.

The Bucs WRs had some odd issues with route-running and getting open, as their numbers had shown. But their receivers have been doing a much better job with their underneath routes to get some space. Ryan Fitzpatrick has a very average arm, with barely any agility - and he wasn't able to push them anywhere when he was on the field. But Jameis Winston looked as good as expected when he was slinging it around. The Tampa Bay QB made some nice plays with a excellent vision that can take advantage of intermediate passes, and also has the arm to get them moving as well. Tampa Bay has a lot to show off - even if it's only for 1-2 possessions. The battle of Florida is going down here, and Jax doesn't stand a chance.




Jacksonville can't possibly look at 32 year old QB, Chad Henne, as the guy who's going to catapult this win vs the Bucs. Henne had problems with accuracy, and he will have his share of problems with the DBs of Tampa. Teams haven't had problems trying to find an answer stopping the Bucs running game - but Jacksonville isn't going to figure that out, as they have had their share of issues stopping RBs from breaking the plane in the end zone.

I like TAMPA to bounce back with a WIN this week.
