This is it boys, we're getting close. That loss to the Bills gave me renewed hope in this team as ironic as that may sound. We have absolute garbage DBs all over the field and that scares me but our offense can play with the best of them as long as Tua is protected well in the pocket. Run game is strong. McD just needs to learn to not be so damn pass-happy.
We can make a run if we get in the dance!

Thursday Night
Jags @ Jets -HUUUUUGE game. We NEED the Jags to beat the Jets and with Wilson back there, Jets offense is going to suffer. Jags are on fire and have renewed motivation to win their division. (Vegas has this as a pick 'em game)

Saturday
Bengals @ Patriots- Another big one. A loss here and goodbye to the Patriots. After the debacle against the Raiders and the Bengals looking hot, this loss seems likely (Bengals -3.5)

Seahawks @ Chiefs-Minor, but we want the Chiefs to keep winning and hope the Bills lose one. Nobody wants the Chiefs in the first round. (Chiefs -9.5)

Bills @ Bears - Big one but I just can't see the Bears winning this one, although it's going to be fun seeing Fields embarrass that overrated Bills run defense. (Bills -9)

Falcons @ Ravens - 2 really good run games with horrible QBs. And now Duvernay is on IR. Who knows but unfortunately, Ravens should win this. Ridder looked really, really bad in his debut (Ravens -7.5)

Raiders @ Steelers - Believe it or not but Raiders could screw things up for us, so a loss here would be nice. Not worried though as Raiders still play the 49ers and Chiefs. (Steelers -3)

Monday Night
Chargers @ Colts - Nothing positive to say here about the Colts. Historic loss. Luckily, these are the games historically where the Chargers lose. (Chargers -4.5)

By Sunday 4PM ET, after we beat the Packers and the Jags beat the Jets, we will have a week 17 official playoff clinching scenario by simply beating the Patriots.

Very optimistic outlook… One thing about NFL teams when they’re facing extinction… They play way better

I mean that's really equal desperation for jags as much as jets. Jets can't afford to have another loss, but jags have to win out but they have a clear path to sneaking in playoffs if jags win. If they beat jets, they then play texans which is good chance to win. Then titans which could be do or die and winner wins the division, get's 4 seed and the loser doesn't make the playoffs

Biggest game imo is the jets game. They lose, it's laid out for miami to get playoffs clinched with win vs packers and patriots

100%. So glad it’s the Thursday game so I’m watching a game I’m invested in tommorow.

The Pats have to play both the Bengals and Bills. I hope this statement doesn’t bite me in the ass, but I’m not too concerned about them.

The Jets are a different story. Jags and Seahawks is a drastically easier schedule. A loss to the Jacksonville gives us some much needed breathing room.

I’m as big a Jags fan a you’ll find for the next 40 hours.
 
Though insanely doubtful, I will still root for a HUGE Bears upset, then root for a far more possible loss to the Bengals, and hope the Patriots feel huge anger after losing to Miami, to try and prove themselves against the Bills.
🤞
 
Jags & Bengals win and assuming we win, we clinch a playoff spot.

Edited: Bad math, this is not correct. My bad.

Miami can clinch next week if:
  1. MIA def GB (this week)
  2. JAX def NYJ (this week)
  3. MIA def NE (next week)
  4. SEA def NYJ (next week)
Then week 18 won't even matter for miami for playoffs.
 
I really really hope we slip into the 6th or 5th wildcard. That gives us a chance to avoid KC and Bills until 2nd round. Unless a lower seed 7 or 6 beats 2 or 3?

Can anyone confirm that the lowest seed plays 2 and 1?
If we get 7th seed, we play either bills or chiefs, if we beat either one, then we play the latter? Does anyone know that? Feel free to correct me.
