The Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans face off on Sunday in an NFL showdown at Nissan Stadium.
The Jaguars come into this game with a 4-8 record, and they have gone 4-7-1 against the spread. In the last game against Detroit, the defense gave up 40 points, and that led to the 26 point defeat. Trevor Lawrence completed 17 of his 31 passes for 179 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. Lawrence is dealing with a toe injury, but it’s expected that he’s going to be able to go in this game. The Jaguars are averaging 21.5 points, while their defense is giving up 22.7 points per game. In this game, the Jaguars are going to need the defense to be good here.
On the other side of this matchup is the Titans, who sit with a 7-5 record, and they have gone 8-4 against the spread. In the last game against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Titans only scored 10 points, but the defense gave up 35 points. Ryan Tannehill completed 14 of his 21 passes for 141 yards and a touchdown. Derek Henry wasn’t very good and finished with only 11 carries for 30 yards. Tennessee is averaging 18.3 points, while their defense is giving up 20 points per game. The offense is ranked 26th in the league, and they need to find a way to get more offensive success here.
The Titans are 6-0 against the spread in their last six games against a team with a losing record. The under is 6-0 in the Titan's last six games against the AFC. The under is 5-0 in the Titan's last 5 games after accumulating less than 150 yards passing in their previous game. The Titans are 6-0 against the spread in their last 6 games after accumulating less than 150 yards passing in their previous game.
This game is going to be lower scoring. This Titans' offense isn’t great, but overall their defense is good, and they are going to slow down Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars offense. The Titans aren’t going to run up the score, here, and that will lead to this game being lower scoring. Back the under to cash here.
