I see that most are very down on the Jaguars, but only 2 teams in the AFC have a better records than them.  The Jaguars are also only 3 point under-dogs tomorrow against one of those teams.  If the Jags win tomorrow, the #1 seed in the playoffs is very much back in the picture.  The final 3 games are favorable to the Jaguars.  Carolina is the consensus worst team in the NFL.  The Jaguars beat the Titans by 20 points earlier this year.  The Bucs are 6-7, but I think that they are over-rated with that record.  Their wins include the Panthers, Bears, Titans and 3 other teams that don't have a winning record.

If the Jaguars win out, all it would take is one loss by each of the Ravens, Dolphins and Chiefs with the Dolphin's loss needing to be to an AFC team.  That's not hard to see at all.  The Ravens and Dolphins play each other, so one of them is guaranteed to lose a game.  Additionally, the Ravens have to play the 49'ers next week.  The Dolphins have to play a team (the Bills) who beat them by 28 points earlier this season.  Unfortunately, the Chiefs schedule is a little easier.  The best team is the Bengals.  However, despite losing Burrows, the Bengals have won 3 straight games.  The Raiders are also an unpredictable team just coming off a 42 point victory.  If you haven't been following them, the Chiefs haven't been doing well lately.  They have lost 3 of their last 4 games and 4 of their last 6 games.  Not going 4-0 to finish the year wouldn't be all that surprising.

It all starts tomorrow.  Just win, baby!
