Why have two L's when you can combine good opponent and bad scheduling to make one sure L and a better chance to find a W elsewhere?

Picking NFL wins and losses in April is impossible. Indy was a gauranteed loss last year, than injuries happen and they are a gauranteed win, and then we get beat. It's the NFL and teams constantly blow games they shouldn't. The Patriots game is far from a throw away and picking a winner or loser now is pointless.
That said, I get what you say about preferring them at a tough time as opposed to being at Jacksonville at the end of a tough 3 week road schedule.
