The NFL has five remaining winless teams as Week 4 is upon us.
The Jacksonville Jaguars are the first to 0-4 after a loss Thursday night, leaving four 0-3 teams seeking that first win Sunday.
So what are their respective chances of winning?
Let’s break it down with each winless NFL contender.
New York Jets
The New York Jets are a giant disaster in 2021, which was to be expected.
Justin Fields Zach Wilson Trevor Lawrence

Zach Wilson is having a rough go after being taken No. 2 overall and has seven interceptions so far in three games.
He has also been sacked 15 times, while tossing two touchdowns.
As a whole, the problem is not just Wilson.
The Jets fell 25-6 in Week 2 against the New England Patriots and lost 26-0 last week against the Denver Broncos.
Up next is a showdown with the Tennessee Titans.
Derrick Henry may run for 200 yards in this one and a Titans loss would be an actual shocking outcome.
Indianapolis Colts
The Indianapolis Colts expected to be doing much better after acquiring Carson Wentz this offseason.
Well, he is dealing with two sprained ankles and the Colts just placed star guard Quenton Nelson on injured reserve.
Colts officially placed Pro-Bowl guard Quenton Nelson on the Injured Reserve.

That is awful news for the offense, which has scored an exact total of 16 points in two of their three games this season.
The closest affair was a 27-24 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, so it’s not like the Colts are getting blown out.
Yet an injured Wentz is a major problem.
The Miami Dolphins are the team looking to send the Colts to an 0-4 start this week.
Jacoby Brissett has a bit of a revenge game as the Dolphins starter with Tua Tagovailoa out with an injury.
This game appears to be a bit of a toss-up, with the Dolphins as minor favorites because they are at home.
If the Colts lose this, pressure only mounts ahead of a Week 5 primetime game against the Baltimore Ravens.
New York Giants
How much longer will Joe Judge last if the New York Giants keep losing?
A better focus may be on GM Dave Gettleman, who assembled this supposed NFL team.
The Giants should at least be 1-2 after a blown game against Washington in Week 2.
Then came a 17-14 loss last week against the Atlanta Falcons.
Daniel Jones is playing well and is doing enough to keep his team in the game.
But Saquon Barkley has been bad and that eliminates the key part of the whole offense.
Gettleman told Giants fans Barkley was the answer.
He seemed to be as a rookie, but so far in 2021 he is nothing more than hype.
A road game against the New Orleans Saints this week should spell doom for the entire Giants operation as they try to figure out a proper path forward.
For those wondering, a road game against the Rams awaits them in Week 5.
The schedule is absolutely brutal and the Giants may enter their bye at 0-9 if they can’t win this week.
Detroit Lions
The Detroit Lions have actually been playing well, even at 0-3, and have a great shot to win Sunday.
They get to take on a Chicago Bears team with Justin Fields officially back in at quarterback.
Based on last week, that means the Bears offense won’t move the ball and the Lions defense can feast on Fields all day.
The Lions just dropped a close game to Baltimore they arguably should have won because of a missed delay of game call.
So this team is ready to compete and they honestly should be clear favorites over the Bears with Fields in there.
