Most of us living here on the First Coast are Jaguars fans, and even if you’re not a huge one, you’re probably paying attention. They’re pretty freaking good right now.

For this update, I’m setting real estate aside to check in on my Jaguars season prediction giveaway. Twenty people entered, and the standings are starting to take shape.

The surprise wins hurt everyone’s picks. Nearly everyone predicted a loss when Jacksonville played in Cincinnati, and a lot of people had them losing to Philly, too. They won both of those games.

The Philly win came down to a miracle field goal after Nick Sirianni made a really poor decision not to kick the ball out of the end zone with eight seconds left. Their mistake was our gain. Plenty of people also had the Jaguars losing to the Texans, which made that one interesting.

Plenty of entrants are still alive. Thalia, John, Jeff, and Colin are really struggling at 3-5, so they probably won’t be in the hunt for the final prizes. Brett, Jacob, Jason, Lou, Michelle, and Mitchell are hanging in there at 4-4, and they’ve got a shot if the people at the top stumble.

Shawn Lawrence, Lady D, and Bill G are sitting at 5-3 with plenty of chances to win it. Shawn also goes by Larry, and he knows who he is.

The top spots are tight. Rory and Dwayne are at 6-2, and Chris B and I share the top of the leaderboard at 7-1. I obviously can’t win, though it would be a fun bit of pride to stay up there. I’m hoping Dwayne, Rory, Bill, or somebody from that 5-3 group makes a run.

Nearly everyone picked the Jaguars next. The next game is Tennessee on Sunday, November 15, and everybody but one person picked the Jaguars to win. To that one Titans fan, good luck. By the time you see this, the game may already be over.

I’ll do another update around mid to late December to see where things stand and who’s still in the hunt. By then, we should have all the prizes settled and ready for you to look at, and I can’t wait to give them away to whoever wins.
