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

The Jacksonville Jaguars are on their bye, but there are a number of teams that can give them some help in Week 7, both in the division and conference playoff races.

Of course, to start with the obvious, you should be rooting against the three other AFC South teams. This week the Texans host the Giants, the Colts are at Minnesota, and the Titans host the Browns.

Sitting at 4-2 on the season, the Jaguars are positioned well in the division, with a two-game lead over both the 2-4 Texans and Colts.
