Both would be bigger TV markets than Jags vs tenn. It really just depends. 

I think the Jags have definitely bough themselves a few more prime time games next season though, especially given they are facing AFC North with Lamar, Burrow, and Watson and will get either KC/LAC or Buff/Miami from the other divisions.

I see your points and they crossed my mind, but both of those teams will still be playing the following week.  I could see them going with that game if they think the Jags are gonna roll the tacks so the game wouldn’t be as compelling as a game that’s less certain like BAL vs CIN, but man… our game is very likely going to essentially be a playoff game.  Not sure how you pass that up when selecting a game for the crown jewel of of the week 18 slate of games.

Especially since large parts of the country probably haven’t seen Trevor this year much if at all.  I know they played on Thursday night, but even so I don’t think that audience is anywhere near the size of Sunday night football.
