Two teams looking to stay in the AFC playoff hunt will collide on Thursday Night Football, with the Jacksonville Jaguars visiting the New York Jets.
The Jaguars picked up a stunning victory over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15 and are alive in the AFC South divisional race. Things aren’t going as well for the Jets, who, despite having a better record than Jacksonville, saw their playoff odds take a hit with their third straight loss.
Knowing where these teams stand makes it a must-win game for both if they want to stay in the hunt.
Jacksonville has struggled on the road with a 2-5 record, while the Jets are 3-4 as the hosts.

With how tight these teams are in the standings, it’s not a shock to see this game basically listed as a pick’em. The Jaguars are slight road favorites at -1.5 on the spread while also owning -112 odds on the moneyline, compared to the Jets at -104. Jacksonville’s offense has recently come alive, and Trevor Lawrence is demonstrating that he has the makings of a future star quarterback. That’s not a luxury the Jets have in this matchup, as they start Zach Wilson for the second consecutive week. There’s a clear edge for the Jaguars in that department, which could be the difference in siding with the visitors on a short week. Still, it’s interesting that the contest has a low total, set at just 36.5. The Jaguars outscored that number on their own last week, but the expectation is that both sides will struggle on offense.
