Tennessee Titans vs Jacksonville Jaguars Prediction
I’ll lean toward staying with Tennessee, but I’m not touching this one. There’s not a lot to get excited about here. The Titans were demolished by a pretty good Commanders team last Sunday, giving up 463 yards and 29 first downs on defense. The Tennessee offense couldn’t keep pace with just 245 total yards (210 passing) and 12 first downs. The Titans have scored 20 or fewer points in seven of their eight games since the bye.
As for Jacksonville, they had some minor success on offense in the loss to Houston, notching 373 total yards (276 passing) and 19 first downs. That said, the Jags also lost starting QB Trevor Lawrence to a concussion. Realistically speaking, however, Jacksonville was still losing with Lawrence under center. The Jaguars have at 23 points or below in four straight games themselves. I’m siding with Tennessee at home here cover-wise, but it’s probably a matchup to skip.
