Fortunately for NFL fans the majority of Week 16 games involve playoff implications.

Unfortunately for Tennessee and Jacksonville fans Sunday's AFC South match-up between the Titans and Jaguars at that place they know call EverBank Field is not one of them.

Tennessee was still alive a few weeks ago in the AFC wild-card scrum, but three straight losses have removed the Titans from contention.

Jacksonville, meanwhile, had followed up its eight-game losing streak to start this season with four wins in five games. But the Jags just lost at home to Buffalo 27-20, allowing almost 200 yards rushing.

In the early betting Jacksonville, which beat Tennessee for its first victory of this season back in November, was getting six points as a home dog for Sunday's game at Sportsbook.
