Tennessee Titans vs Jacksonville Jaguars Prediction
I’ll lean toward the Jaguars here, but it’s obviously a coin flip. Both teams are coming off tough losses anyway, and have basically packed it in for the season. That said, Jacksonville had a lead on the Raiders late in their most recent loss despite posting a modest 15 first downs and 308 offensive yards. The two lost fumbles didn’t help matters either. The Jags have been at 20 points or below in five of their last six games (a 1-5 stretch), so it would be nice to see the offense doing anything here.
As for Tennessee, they had a couple of bad quarters in their loss to a middling Colts team and ended up surrendering a whopping 335 rush yards along the way. If there’s good news it’s that the Titans have scored a combined 57 points over their last pair.
Jacksonville won the last meeting between these teams, 10-6 on the road on December 8. This one could well be a similarly low-scoring affair, though I think the total will be quite a bit higher than a measly 16 points.
