The only prediction that didn't hold in the Texans game was about the corners.
Given your obvious powers, can you state some concerns about the Jax players, please?

Thanks. Honestly, we really should win this game. I think Gus Bradley is a good coach, especially defensively, but there's just not enough talent yet. Now that I've said that, we'll probably be severely out-coached or Griffin will get injured or something, but if Gruden really is the coach I think he is, we win this game. He has the talent advantage.
That being said, my biggest concerns:
Denard Robinson. Jacksonville has talked about how they need to get the running game going, and Gerhart might be limited against us with a foot injury. I'm guessing Robinson gets more than the 3 carries he had against Philadelphia. He'll probably have a long one or two.
Jacksonville's pass rush. Sure, we're not facing any JJ Watts, but they got to Nick Foles 5 times. Longer routes might not work against these guys either.
Jacksonville's run defense. They held LeSean McCoy to 74 yards with a 3.5 yards per carry average.
Johnathan Cyprien. He had a concussion last week, so I doubt he'll play. But if he does, our offense will have a lot tougher of a time moving the ball. Backup Josh Evans will probably come in and kill us anyway. LOL? Not sure I should laugh at that.
