The Jacksonville Jaguars are poised for a comeback for the NFL 2025 season, with analysts projecting a more competitive season following their disappointing 4-13 record last year. The combination of a healthier Trevor Lawrence and a revamped coaching staff has generated optimism among fans and experts alike.

Under new head coach Liam Coen , the team aims to capitalize on their young talent and favorable schedule to make a playoff push. Lawrence, entering his fifth year, is expected to rebound and fulfill his potential as a franchise quarterback. The addition of Travis Hunter Jr., a dynamic rookie capable of contributing on both sides of the ball, adds another layer of promise to this roster.

The AFC South appears wide open, providing Jacksonville with a realistic chance to contend for the division title. Both the Colts and Titans are still in the rebuilding phase, giving Jacksonville an edge in terms of readiness. With matchups against defensively vulnerable teams like the Raiders and Titans, Jacksonville has opportunities to secure key victories.

A softer schedule, particularly toward the end of the season, plays into Jacksonville’s favor. In their final stretch, they face beatable teams like the Cardinals, Colts, and Titans, offering a prime window to rack up wins. Similar to their late-season surge in 2022, Jacksonville has the chance to build momentum when it matters most.

Jacksonville may soon be in the mix to compete when the new season begins. This is detailed more in an analysis by Brad Gagnon for Bleacher Report.

Prediction: They will be in the mix for a division title. The AFC South is wide open, and it’s tough to imagine the Jaguars falling short with such a skilled roster.

The team’s projected win total of 7.5, as highlighted by analysts, seems achievable given their improved roster and favorable circumstances. Clearing that mark would put them firmly in contention for the playoffs, marking a much-needed turnaround for the franchise.
