I really don't know how this game is going to go down. I've been pretty good at picking how our Hawks will fare, correctly predicting the result in 9 out of our 12 games in our pick-um league this season.
Even after losing Sherman and Kam, our defense looks solid and seems to have healed Thyself. I don't think we'll have a problem with keeping them under 20, which for most teams, usually spells victory. But the Jags have a quick, athletic defense that can contain Russell and shut down our receivers. We're going to need something out of our running game besides Russell's scrambles and keeps off the read, and I'm having a hard time imaging how that's going to happen.
Unless we can get some production out of our running game, which has been sporadic at best, we're going to need some points out of our defense and/or special teams if we are to come out of there with a W. Otherwise I think it's going to be a long day.
