We saw our season-high six-game winning streak come to an end last week after the Raiders failed to cover, but that doesn’t mean we can’t start another streak with the playoffs kicking off on Saturday. We finished above .500 on the season and closed out the regular season with six wins in the last seven weeks, and nine victories in the 12 final weeks. But just like the 14 teams remaining in the NFL postseason, nobody cares what you did in the regular season. People want to see results in the playoffs, and we’ve got a solid teaser play to kick off the first round of the postseason.

Even if wide receiver Mike Williams was 100% healthy for the Chargers, we’d still take the Jaguars +8.5 on the teaser. But with Williams banged up, again, don’t be surprised if Los Angeles struggles to stretch the field vertically. Williams is the Chargers’ best red zone option and biggest threat on the outside, and without him fully healthy, LA will have to rely that much more on Keenan Allen and Austin Ekeler. And that’s far from ideal, especially considering Jacksonville has won five straight and has allowed 22 points or less in four of its last five games.
