I think the Jags have a very good chance at claiming a playoff spot. As it stands now, with a win over Buffalo next weekend, Jacksonville will claim at least the 6th seed in the conference (Denver and SD are playing each other). The last wild card should come down to either the Jags, Denver, Ravens, Texans, Jets and Dolphins. The Ravens have some tough games coming up, including the Steelers twice and the Colts. The Texans still have games with Colts and Titans, along with the Dolphins and Jags. Miami has NE, Houston and Pittsburgh at home with Panthers, Jags, and Titans on the road. Without Ronnie Brown I think they are done, as of now he has a sprained ankle and is likely out for Thursday's game at Carolina.. Jets have Panthers, Falcons and Cincinnati at home with games at NE and Indy! I think the most important games for the Jags will be the Texans and Dolphins. With wins in those two games, they will own head to head against the Jets, Dolphins, and Texans. With wins over Buffalo and Cleveland it will give them at least 9 wins. Even with losses in the other games, it would give the Jags a 3-3 division record and an 8-4 conference record. After looking at each teams schedule, I don't think it would take 10 wins this year to get in. For that to happen, Houston or Baltimore would have to go 5-1 (giving the Ravens a win tonight), or Miami and the Jets would have to go 6-0. Either Denver or San Diego would have to go 4-2, which I think SD will do. That will give them the West, so Denver would need to go 4-1 (if SD does win next week) and the way they are playing I don't see that, especially with their remaining schedule (NYG, @Indy, @ Philly).

It should be an interesting 8 weeks.  Get to the stadium and cheer for your team.  I've been pretty lonely sitting in sec 243 all year!
