There remains a chance that two sub-.500 teams could make it into the postseason in the NFL this year. The two possibilities come out of the NFC and AFC South divisions, where 8-9 teams could end up winning each of those divisions.
On Saturday in week 18, NFL fans will see who ends up earning the AFC South title. The Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans play in the week’s only guaranteed winner-take-all matchup, with the victor earning a division title and a home playoff spot as the 4th seed in the AFC.
The 8-8 Jaguars have been on a tear comparable to that of the Green Bay Packers or Detroit Lions, winning four straight and 6 of their last 8 games to follow up a 2-6 start.
