This may be the season where we finally see the Jacksonville Jaguars make a playoff push, even if it comes via the wild card.

Tennessee still has a lot of room to develop, Indianapolis’ chances of a decent season seem no more likely than a coin flip, and Houston hasn’t exactly been a Cinderella in the post-season.

Quarterback Blake Bortles has had plenty of weapons on offense, and thanks to Allen Hurns and Allen Robinson, we can expect more of the same explosiveness this season.

Add to that the defensive addition of Jalen Ramsey at CB, and it’s easy to see how things can go Jacksonville’s way.

Even then, opening against the Packers will show us what these Jags are all about.

The best part?

Jacksonville will only need to squeak past .500 to clinch the division title (probably).

Don’t expect them to go down without a fight this time around.

Division Predictions:

Jaguars (9-7)
Texans (7-9)
Colts (5-11)
Titans (4-12)

Next: AFC North
