The Titans are 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 road games and 0-2-2 ATS in their last 4 Thursday games. The Jaguars are 14-41 ATS in their last 55 Thursday games. The over is 4-0 in Titans last 4 Thursday games. The under is 5-0 in Jaguars last 5 overall. The favorite is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.
I’m not running to the window to back either of these teams, as they’ve both been sluggish out the gate. However, the Detroit Titans have shown more promise through six games, and that includes hanging around with Mississippi State and Louisville. The IUPUI Jaguars have no offense to speak of, as everything falls off a cliff after Maxwell. Detroit should be able to get in the win column for the first time this year.
