Jaguars can't sweep Colts or Texans

 

Common opponents:

Dolphins (Jaguars won)

 

AFC South

 

Colts (3-0)

Texans (2-1)

Jaguars (1-2)

Titans (0-3)

 

Using that information, can you figure out if we can win the division without a winning record?

KISS, Hope the Jaguars win, hope Tennessee upsets Indy and Houston. You do not want to get into a tiebreaker deal with Indy(3-0 AFCS) if they have the same W/L record as you, because if they get to 7 or 8 they likely have a better division record than you, and possibly Houston having the same advantage themselves(2-1 AFCS) over the Jaguars(1-2 AFCS).  They simple way to look at it, if you tie with either of them, you are extremely likely miss the playoffs and finish behind them via tiebreakers.. This is why division games are so darn important. We are literally a FG away from 2-1 and being in an awesome spot to post a 5-1 division record. Just hope the division loses every week and Tennessee upsets the Colts and Texans. Its unlikely but one can dream right? Another way is to win out, obviously the hardest route but if we want playoffs generally those teams win down the stretch. We have the SOS to do it, lets hope we get hot at the right time.
