Just looking at the next few weekends and how things may play out.  Here is my take on things regarding the AFC South Title and hopes for a first round bye.

Up next the Jags have the Texans who are probably going to be without Savage after his potential end zone seizure, I hope he is alright.  I think we win that game and the game against the 9ers following week.  The tacks game will probably be a coin flip kind of bout, I think whomever takes the early lead takes the game in a back and forth grind.  Giving our remaining games vs the tacks remaining games I think we take the AFC South since we are currently up one game.  I think the Rams beat the tacks in two weeks to give us a two game lead.

The only way I think we get a first round bye is if the Fins beat the Pats tonight and the Steelers win next week.  Assuming we win our games we would need the Bills to upset the Pats in Foxboro, I only think this happens if it is a snow game.  The Steelers have a pretty easy schedule remaining and I don't think they lose enough games to help us into a bye.  I also doubt the Pats situation plays out the way we need it to, so as much as it would be nice I think we play a wild card team in week one.

What are your thoughts?
