I think I'm higher on the Jags than KCF mainly for one reason. They seem to have a pretty favorable schedule. They get they Raiders, Hawks, Vikings at home. They avoid the Dolphins + Ravens. Broncos on the road is their only out of division game against a projected playoff team on the road.

Compare it against the other wildcard contenders.

Colts - Ravens on the road, Broncos on the road, do not avoid the Dolphins. They do get the Raiders, Hawks and Vikings at home at least.

Hawks - Jags on the road, Colts on the road, Bucs on the road. They do avoid some big name in conference out of division games though (No Ravens/Steelers, no Dolphins/Jets)

Raiders - Dolphins on the road, Colts on the road, Jags on the road, Bucs on the road. They also get the Ravens and Pioneers on their schedule

Steelers - Broncos on the road, Cowboys on the road, Dolphins on the road. Also get Pioneers, Pumpkins, Jets, Redskins on their schedule. Did not remain healthy.

Jets - Steelers on the road, Pioneers on the road, Seahawks on the road. Also get the Rams, Broncos and Ravens on their schedule and have to play the Dolphins twice. Didn't remain healthy. Basically as tough a schedule as the Steelers.
