It’s the Jaguars and Titans battling for the AFC South championship and a spot in the playoffs.
The Jaguars have two games to play in the regular season: Sunday in Houston against the Texans and the Week 18 matchup against the Tennessee Titans.The Jaguars and Titans have identical 7-8 records, but the Jaguars hold the tiebreaker for now — based on the head-to-head win over Tennessee on December 11.This week, Tennessee faces the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night.
That would leave Jacksonville at 7-9 and the Titans at 8-8. In that case, if the Jaguars beat the Titans on the final weekend of the season, both teams would be 8-9 and the Jaguars would hold the tiebreaker by way of the season sweep of the Titans. If the Titans won, they would have a record of 9-8 and Tennessee would win the division and go to the playoffs.
If the Jaguars and Titans enter the final week with the same record and the final game ends in a tie, the Jaguars would win because of a better head-to-head record against the Titans. The other question to be answered about that final game between the Jaguars and Titans is when it will be played. In Week 18, two games will be played on Saturday — they will kick off at 4:30 PM and 8:15 PM — with the remainder to be played on Sunday afternoon . One game will be played on Sunday night. There are no Monday night games in the final week. The NFL will announce who will play when after all of the Week 17 games are played. So, we may not know when the Jaguars and Titans will kickoff until after the Monday game between the Bills and Bengals is completed the evening of Jan. 2.
