The Serby Crystal Ball (TSCB) shows up for this NFL season rejuvenated with swag and a chip on its shoulder following an offseason when it realized its goal of getting 1 percent better every day.

TSCB was admittedly distracted last offseason by all the outside noise and vows that the Mike Vrabel-Dianna Russini and Jed York scandals have not caused any glitches whatsoever.

TSCB’s Road to Inglewood, Calif., and Super Bowl 61:

AFC wild card

Jaguars def. Bills

Josh Allen cried when his Super Bowl dream was shattered again in Denver last season, and he and rookie head coach Joe Brady might shed a tear or two when Travis Hunter intercepts him in the fourth quarter, and Trevor Lawrence delights the Everbank Stadium crowd when he and Parker Washington lead a last-minute FG drive to overcome a 27-0 deficit just as the franchise quarterback did four years earlier against the Chargers to avenge the 27-24 wild-card loss in Jacksonville last season.
