• The Jags offense has everything it needs: Trevor Lawrence has consistently provided the Jaguars with above-average play. With rookie Brian Thomas Jr. profiling as a stud at receiver, this Jaguars unit has top-10 upside.

• Regression seems to be coming: Cleveland certainly has the edge on the defensive side of the ball. However, I’m happy to fade the premium the market is placing on a Browns defense that is unlikely to be as dominant as last year. The Jaguars defense is also solid enough to contain this brutal Cleveland offense.
