Key Takeaways:

  • 📊 The Jaguars' playoff chances are 37%, according to odds at DraftKings Sportsbook. 
  • 📈 This gives Jacksonville the tenth-longest odds to make the playoffs among all 32 teams.
  • 🏆 The Jags have a 26.3% chance to win the AFC South, making them the second-favorite behind Houston.

The Jaguars are coming off a disappointing 2024 season, finishing 4-13 and landing at the bottom of the AFC South. It was a major step back for a team that reached the playoffs just two years earlier in 2022. Now, all eyes are on Jacksonville after selecting Travis Hunter with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft under new head coach Liam Coen.

The roster looks improved across the board, and with Trevor Lawrence still leading the offense, the Jags are hoping to bounce back and re-enter the playoff picture this fall. Jacksonville opens the season at home against the Carolina Panthers on September 7. We’ll be tracking the Jaguars’ playoff chances, Super Bowl odds, and more 2025 betting lines as the season progresses.

What Are the Jaguars Playoff Chances?

The Jaguars' playoff chances are 37%, per DraftKings Sportsbook. These odds align with most sportsbooks such as Hard Rock Bet. We expect Jacksonville's chances to increase once the season gets underway.

In the table below, you can find the Jags' playoff chances, as well as the team's chances to win the Super Bowl, AFC, and AFC South. All odds are from DraftKings Sportsbook.

To calculate the Jags' implied probability, we converted the odds given by the top sportsbooks into a percentage. This is a helpful way to better understand the odds and gives us a detailed outline of their playoff chances.

The Jaguars believe they have the pieces to make a run this season, but it all hinges on how Trevor Lawrence bounces back and how quickly rookie Travis Hunter adjusts to the NFL. Lawrence enters the year with the fourth-shortest odds to win Comeback Player of the Year. Rookie Travis Hunter has a 19.1% chance of winning either OROY or DROY based on odds at DraftKings.

Jacksonville is considered a long shot to win Super Bowl 60 at +10000, and their odds to make the playoffs sit at +170. The Jags are +280 to win the AFC South, where they’ll have to battle a rising Texans squad and a tough Colts defense. It’s an uphill climb in a loaded AFC, but the front office was aggressive this offseason, building around its veteran core.

The Jaguars have high hopes for a rebound season. Now, the only question is: can they pull it off, and what will Trevor Lawrence and Travis Hunter look like leading the way? Their success could be the difference between another lost year and a shot at the playoffs.

Do the Jaguars Have a Chance to Make the Playoffs?

The Jaguars currently have a 37.0% chance of making the playoffs, according to the latest odds. Right now, optimism is limited, but that could change fast if Jacksonville gets off to a strong start. The season kicks off at home against the Panthers in Week 1, followed by a tough road trip to face the Bengals in Cincinnati in Week 2. Their first divisional test comes in Week 3 when they host the Houston Texans.

Are the Jaguars Out of the Playoffs?

No, the Jaguars aren’t out of the playoff picture yet. According to DraftKings Sportsbook, Jacksonville has a 67.7% chance of missing the postseason. With their last playoff appearance coming in 2022, this season will be a crucial test to see if they can return to contention. We won’t know for sure who will make the playoffs until later in the year, but the Jaguars will be fighting hard to prove they belong.

Key Contributors Toward Jaguars Playoff Chances

The Jaguars have a new coaching staff and an upgraded roster for the 2025 season. Jacksonville is projected to be a much better team, with an improved win total and the potential to be a serious playoff contender. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence is expected to take a step forward after the team added new offensive weapons, including Dyami Brown and rookie Travis Hunter. With Travis Etienne Jr. bolstering the run game, Jacksonville should have a diverse offense capable of spreading the ball around.

Defensively, the Jaguars are still a work in progress, but the additions of veterans Jourdan Lewis and Eric Murray bring promising potential. The secondary is expected to improve, and a new defensive coordinator will introduce fresh schemes that could turn the defense into a more aggressive unit this season. If the defense takes that step, it could be another key factor in Jacksonville’s push toward the playoffs.

Jacksonville Jaguars Playoff Picture and Predictions

The Jacksonville Jaguars find themselves in a rebuild. They’ve got a new head coach and some fresh faces, but things are looking up for the Jags in 2025. The chemistry between players and coaches seems to be clicking, and that could make a big difference on the field. Still, the roster will need to be strong and consistent enough to handle some of the toughest teams in the NFL, especially in a loaded AFC with the Bills, Bengals, Chiefs, and Ravens leading the way year after year.

The AFC South isn't the toughest division in the league, and with a relatively easy schedule, the Jags could be heading to the playoffs this season. Jacksonville’s odds to make the postseason sit at +170, reflecting some cautious optimism.
