With the 5-8 Green Bay Packers barely in contention for the NFC North title and a berth in the playoffs thanks to a three-game losing streak, they’ll possibly be playing for the future in the final three games of the regular season.

This week the 1.5-point favored Packers will try to pick up the pieces against a Jacksonville Jaguars team that is one of the most disappointing teams in the whole league.

The Jags lost 23-10 to the Bears on Sunday to fall to 4-9 on the season. David Garrard completed only 4-of-12 passes in the first half for a 7.6 passer rating when the Jaguars fell behind 20-3. He finished 19-of-38 for 178 yards and a 61.1 rating.

Total bettors should know that the over is 9-2 in the Jaguars’ last 11 games in December and 4-1 in the Packers’ last five games in December.
