The Jaguars have clinched a home playoff game, but their exact wild-card opponent is not locked in yet; it will depend on final AFC seeding results from other games.

Current playoff picture

  • Jacksonville finished 13–4, winning the AFC South and guaranteeing at least one home playoff game at EverBank Stadium.
  • They are locked into a top‑3 AFC seed , but whether that is No. 1, No. 2, or No. 3 depends on how the other AFC contenders finish their Week 18 games.

Most likely opponents

  • If the Jaguars end up as the No. 3 seed , the most commonly projected wild‑card opponents are the Buffalo Bills or Los Angeles Chargers , depending on how the lower AFC seeds shake out.
  • A less likely scenario where other results break perfectly could still move Jacksonville to the No. 1 seed , which would give them a first‑round bye and mean they do not play on wild‑card weekend.

What to watch for

  • The key to “who will Jaguars play in playoffs” is the cluster of AFC wild‑card contenders; their wins and losses will determine whether Jacksonville draws Buffalo, the Chargers, or another lower seed.
  • Until those other AFC games go final, any named opponent is projection/speculation , not an official matchup, so local and national NFL outlets will update the bracket once all results are in.
