A new week of football is here as a the Jacksonville Jaguars begin preparations for their road trip to Texas to face AFC South division foes, the Houston Texans
The computer clearly loves the NFC West with three teams projected to make the playoffs. Despite injuries, the 49ers (6-3) are expected to do just enough to earn the final wild-card spot, with a 76.1% chance to make the playoffs -- well ahead of the Bears (41.5%), who are projected as the first team out.

Super Bowl 60 is going to be the AFC West against the field. I’ve seen enough now, and I’m putting the three-team gantlet inside the NFL’s best division up against the other 28 teams for this year’s title.
Jaguars kicker Cam Little was an easy choice to win the AFC special teams player of the week award. Little kicked a 68-yard field goal in Sunday’s win over the Raiders, setting a new NFL record. The previous longest field goal in NFL history was 66 yards.
Self-sabotage was the theme in Thursday night’s AFC West clash between the Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos. There was sloppiness galore in the Mile High City, as fans slogged their way through a brutal prime-time matchup that featured a combined 22 penalties (each side had 11 ),

The Indianapolis Colts are all in on their 2025 squad that currently sits atop the AFC standings with a 7-2 record through the first nine weeks of the season. Running back Jonathan Taylor is the NFL's top rusher, and quarterback Daniel Jones is playing at a Pro Bowl-caliber level, which no one could have foreseen before the season kicked off.
