Everything has aligned for the Jacksonville Jaguars to overachieve this season -- they've played all but one game where teams were at their worst, they've faced more backup quarterbacks than starting quarterbacks, and teams seem to have their key players injured right before facing them.
They're still 2-5, but the AFC South sucks, right?
That's why ESPN's calculations that the Jaguars the easiest remaining schedule make me hopeful that a bad team can still host a playoff game.
According to ESPN, the remaining opponents for the Jaguars have just a 37.7% winning percentage.
