8 teams in Week 7 who can give Jaguars a boost in playoff standings

There are a number of teams who can give the Jaguars a boost in the playoff standings, while Jacksonville is on its bye week.

As the Jacksonville Jaguars enter Week 7 on a bye, there are eight teams that could potentially help bolster their playoff standings. The obvious opponents are the three AFC South teams - the Texans, Colts, and Titans.

The Texans will host the Giants, the Colts travel to Minnesota, and the Titans take on the Browns. Currently, the Jaguars boast a 4-2 record, providing them a two-game lead over both the Texans and Colts within their division.

Standing at 4-2, the Jaguars find themselves in third place in the AFC South, trailing the Chiefs and Bills. The AFC playoff picture currently features the Chiefs and Bills leading with perfect 5-0 records, while the Jaguars, Browns, Broncos, Steelers, and Ravens all sit at 4-2.

This trailing position means the Jaguars must look to their schedule for assistance. As they prepare to take on a bye week, the Jaguars should be rooting against the aforementioned eight teams. These teams, in turn, will be focusing their efforts on the Titans, Cardinals, Saints, and Bengals during this crucial week of the season.
