Jacksonville lost 24-14 to undefeated division rival Tennessee last Sunday, eliminating the Jaguars from the AFC South race and putting their chances for a third playoff appearance in four years in serious jeopardy.

The Vikings are in a far better position despite only having one more win than the Jags. Minnesota is tied atop the NFC North with Chicago and Green Bay. The Vikings missed a chance to take sole possession of first place last week when they were outscored 13-0 in the second half of a 19-13 loss at Tampa Bay.

The Vikings have won two of three all-time meetings with the Jaguars, and the Jags have dropped four of five at home this season. Get your NFL betting in the Bodog Sportsbook.
