The Chargers are on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a> in Week 11.<\/p>\n

Kickoff is at 10 a.m. (PT) from EverBank Stadium.<\/p>\n

The Chargers-Jaguars betting line<\/a> shows the Bolts are slight favorites for Sunday.<\/p>\n

Here are five final thoughts ahead of Week 11.<\/p>\n

Everyone knows what is at stake Sunday in Jacksonville.<\/p>\n

And Khalil Mack said it best.<\/p>\n

“There’s going to be playoff implications to it,” Mack said. “You’ve got to treat it like a playoff game.”<\/p>\n

With the home stretch of the 2025 NFL season looming after the Chargers Week 12 bye, the Bolts know how crucial it would be to pick up a win Sunday against the Jaguars.<\/p>\n

To start, both teams currently occupy Wild Card playoff spots in the AFC playoff picture<\/a> as the Chargers at No. 5 and the Jaguars at No. 7.<\/p>\n

And Sunday’s winner would hold an important head-to-head tiebreaker over the other.<\/p>\n

A quick glance at the data shows just how big of a game this one is.<\/p>\n

According to The Athletic, the Bolts currently have an 82 percent chance to make the playoffs. A win boosts that up to 93 percent while a loss drops it to 69 percent.<\/p>\n

Chargers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh said this week that he wants his team to focus on itself in the playoff chase.<\/p>\n

“The answer is always going to come out to be the same: you have to take care of your own business,” Harbaugh said. “You can’t rely on another team not playing well or losing, of the team you want to win, wins.<\/p>\n

“It doesn’t usually work out that way. It works out the way that, handle your own business,” Harbaugh said. “The only game that matters the most, practically all that matters, is the one we’re playing in.”<\/p>\n

On the flip side, The Athletic has Jacksonville’s current playoff odds at 39 percent. But those number go to 57 percent with a win and 24 percent with a loss.<\/p>\n

Of note: the Chargers are 6-1 in AFC games so far this season, which is tied for the best mark in the conference with the Colts.<\/p>\n

That could also be a factor in tiebreaker and playoff seeding scenarios in January.<\/p>\n

“You need a win like this [to go to the playoffs],” Derwin James, Jr. said. You want to win them all, but especially the AFC ones for sure.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Chargers are on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11.
