The Jaguars pulled ahead to overtake the top spot in the AFC South after a big win over the New York Jets on Saturday of Week 16. The Titans were shocked in a loss to the Houston Texans. The Jags and Titans both sit at 7-8, with Jacksonville holding the head-to-head advantage after a Week 14 win.
It's a tight race at the top, but the Texans and Indianapolis Colts have already been eliminated from playoff contention. No matter what happens for the Titans and the Jags this coming week, the Week 18 matchup between the two will determine which team wins the division. While both technically could qualify as a wild card with a loss, the possibility of both teams making the playoffs is not very likely at this point. The division title will be on the line when they likely face off on to close out the 2022-23 regular season.
