Sport Scene's Outlook: The merger with Denver has led to a complete makeover in Jacksonville.
Look for the Bulls’ offense to continue to excel with Vince Evans and Bob Gagliano having replaced last years’ starter Ed Luther who was traded to Oakland.
If the defense improves over last years’ squad, Jacksonville should challenge for the division crown.
1988 Prediction: 10-6 1st place
