Tennessee Titans
Current record: 6-2
Projected record: 11-5
Result: wild card
Seed: No. 5
They are one of the most well-coached and physical teams in the NFL. The Titans win with a power run game and a "punch you in the mouth" defense. That style gives the explosive, elite teams a lot of trouble, especially if the game is in Tennessee. Right now, the Titans are winning without consistent quarterback play and that could haunt them down the stretch. They have a huge division game on Sunday against Jacksonville. The schedule also features San Diego at home and tough road trips to Kansas City and Indianapolis. The Titans won't win the division, but they will be a tough out in the playoffs.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Current record: 5-3
Projected record: 10-6
Result: wild card
Seed: No. 6
The Jaguars are a hard team to get a handle on because their performance can dramatically change from week to week. We do know that they are a physical team that can run the football and play solid defense, but they need to get QB David Garrard healthy for the stretch run. The Jaguars have a tough remaining schedule -- road games at Tennessee, Indianapolis and Pittsburgh -- but they have a good chance to slide in as the last AFC wild card, which would mean that both wild cards would come from the AFC South.
