Jaguars playoff chances: Can Jacksonville still make playoffs going into Week 16?

The Jacksonville Jaguars travel to face the New York Jets on to open Week 16 with plenty of playoff implications at stake.

Jaguars playoff chances

Record: 6-8
Odds to make playoffs: Yes +125, No -150; +125 to win AFC South
Remaining opponents: Week 16 @ Jets, Week 17 @ Texans, Week 18 vs. Titans

The Jaguars are currently in second place in the AFC South, a game back of the Titans. They are in tenth place in the wild card race, two games back of the Chargers and Dolphins for the final two wild card berths. Jacksonville is more likely to win the AFC South than claim a wild card berth given their schedule and how many teams are ahead of them in the wild card race. If the Jaguars keep winning, the AFC South title will come down to their Week 18 game against the Titans, and more than likely the loser goes home while the winner claims the division title.
