The club's first three division games are at home with the last three on the road in the final five weeks of the season.
The Jaguars have only two division games in the first half of the season with home games against Indianapolis (Oct. 3) and Tennessee (Oct. 18) and host Houston in week 10 following the open date on Sunday, November 14.

A YEAR OF NEW STADIUMS

Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City has had a makeover since the Jaguars' last visit in 2006 and the Jaguars will visit the Chiefs on Sunday, October 24. The Jaguars visit the New York Giants on Sunday, November 28 and newly built New Meadowlands Stadium. The Jaguars finished 3-4 in the old Giants Stadium including a 24-22 win over the New York Jets last season.

NFC EAST COMES CALLING
The Jaguars will face all four NFC East teams in 2010 for the fourth time in franchise history. There were six teams in the AFC Central from 1999-2001 so the Jaguars did not play Philadelphia in 2000.
The Jaguars own an 8-7 all-time mark against teams from the NFC East including wins in the last two games. The club last faced the NFC East in 2006 and finished 3-1 with wins over Dallas, Philadelphia and the New York Giants. The Redskins edged the Jaguars 36-30 in overtime at FedEx Field.
Home field has been an advantage for the Jaguars in the interconference games against NFC East as the club owns a 6-1 home record including four straight wins. Philadelphia (Sept. 26) and Washington (Dec. 26) both visit Jacksonville.
4:05 KICKOFF
The Jaguars have three games that will kick off at 4:05 p.m. Eastern and they come in consecutive weeks. The Jaguars play their first road game on Sunday, September 19 at San Diego followed by back-to-back home games beginning at 4:05 against Philadelphia (Sept. 26) and Indianapolis (Oct. 3).
HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE
The Jaguars will play three of their first four games at home. The Jaguars own a 34-22 (.607 pct.) home mark under head coach Jack Del Rio, the 12th-best home record in the NFL since 2003. The club has posted a .500 record or above in six of the seven previous seasons under Del Rio including three 6-2 marks.
The Jaguars have posted six-plus home wins in seven of the previous 15 seasons and rank tied for 12th in the NFL with a 74-46 (.617 pct.) record since 1995 at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium.
GRASS VS. TURF IN 2010
The Jaguars will play 16 of their 20 games including the preseason on grass. The only games to be played on artificial turf will be at Buffalo (Oct. 10), Dallas (Oct. 31), the New Meadowlands Stadium (Nov. 28), and at Indianapolis (Dec. 19).
NO DOMED STADIUMS IN 2010
Of the Jaguars' eight regular season road games, three will be played in stadiums with retractable roofs (Indianapolis, Houston, Dallas). This marks the second consecutive year and only the third time in franchise history (1997, 2009) the club will not play in a domed stadium.
FAMILIAR OPPONENTS
The Jaguars face two non-division foes for the third consecutive season in Buffalo and Cleveland. The Jaguars and Bills will meet for the fourth consecutive season on October 10 and sixth time in the last seven seasons. The Jaguars host Cleveland on November 21 after concluding the 2009 season on the road at the Browns.
In addition, the Jaguars host Denver on Kickoff Weekend on September 12, the fifth time in the last seven seasons the teams will meet. The Jaguars own a 3-1 mark in that stretch. The Jaguars travel to Kansas City on Sunday, October 24, their fourth meeting against the Chiefs in the last seven seasons.
WEST COAST
The Jaguars will play at San Diego in week two on Sunday, September 19, their only game on the west coast in 2010. The Jaguars had two games on the west coast in 2009 with trips to Seattle and at San Francisco. It marks the Jaguars' second trip to San Diego in franchise history (2004) and fourth game overall against the Chargers.
ON THE ROAD
The Jaguars will travel 8,342 miles to their eight regular season road games. The longest trip is San Diego (2,343) followed by Kansas City (1,149) and Buffalo (1,042).
CLASH OF THE TITANS
The Jaguars will play their 32nd and 33rd games against the Tennessee Titans (including playoffs) at home on October 18 and on the road December 5, the most against any NFL team. The Titans own a 17-13 edge in the series. The teams have split the season series in three of the last four seasons including 2009.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK
The Jaguars visit the New York Giants on Sunday, November 28. The Jaguars have played (including playoffs) at the stadium of a New York based team in 12 of their previous 15 seasons (2001, 2007, 2008). The Jaguars own a 2-2 mark against the Giants in four games.
SEPTEMBER HEAT
Three of the club's first four games are at home with Denver (Sept. 12, 1:00 p.m.), Philadelphia (Sept. 26, 4:05 p.m.) and Indianapolis (Oct. 3, 4:05 p.m.). The Jaguars are eighth in the NFL from 2004-08 with a 12-7 mark in the opening month of the season. The Jaguars have wins in nine of their last 13 September games under head coach Jack Del Rio. In addition, the Jaguars are tied for 10th in the NFL the last 10 years (2000-09) in September with an 18-15 mark (.545).
FLORIDA SUNSHINE
The Jaguars have played 34 games in 15 seasons with temperatures at 81 degrees or higher, the fourth-most in the NFL, and they have taken advantage of the climate.
The Jaguars go through training camp each summer with high temperatures, and practicing in the intense heat has paid off when the games count. The Jaguars are third in the NFL with a .706 winning percentage in games played with temperatures at 81 degrees or above in the last 15 seasons including a 9-7 mark the last seven seasons.
