And, here are the conference standings of teams likely hunting for a wildcard. Notice, there's A LOT of inconsistent teams on this list and also teams that the Jags get a chance to defeat.

As of right now:
Texans   5-3 
Bengals  5-3                                        
Ravens   4-4                                        
Dolphins 4-4                                         
Titans     3-4
Jags       3-5
Jets        3-5
Colts      3-5
Broncos 3-5

(I left Bills, Browns, Raiders off at 2 or less wins)

As you can see,, 9 teams all within 2 games of each other with 8 games left to play (9 games left for the tacks).
Jax gets a shot at playing Colts2×, Tacks, Tinhorns, Dolphins.
They also get a shot vs PITT who is 4-2-1,, who also has to face NE, BALT, CIN again.

WAY TOO SOON to be declaring playoffs are out of the question.
Yes, the Jags look like [BLEEP] right now. But, a string of the next 4 games that includes Bills, Colts2×, Steelers  is a good opportunity to get/stay right in the mix for the playoff race if they can get their [BLEEP] together and win 3/4 or 4/4 of those.  

That is in addition to what the other teams in the race do. I can see Tinhorns, Tacks, Bengals, Ravens, Dolphins all losing a couple games over the next few too. Don't you?
