Preview
They very much look in control of the AFC South with the current record, but the Jacksonville Jaguars (6-2) have big ambitions judging by the moves made in and around the trade deadline. The fight to secure the top Seed in the AFC is one that is likely going to run all the way through to the end of the regular season, while the Jaguars will be aware that they are 1-1 in Divisional play and the Houston Texans have shown signs of improvement in the last month.
That all means they cannot afford to overlook the Tennessee Titans (1-7) who are returning from a Bye Week and have remained competitive, despite the overall record. A couple of key players have been allowed to leave, which underlines the fact that the Titans are looking ahead to 2027, but they will be very motivated to play spoiler.
Both games played between these teams last year ended in blowout wins for the Jacksonville Jaguars, but this is a team that is looking to maintain momentum and just go 1-0 this week.
The Titans will look to come out and run the ball and see if they can control the clock and keep the Jaguars Offensive unit sitting on the sidelines for as long as possible. Just before the Bye Week, the Titans Offensive Line had been helping the team establish the run with real success and they will have noted some of the problems Jacksonville have had at the Line of Scrimmage, even as the wins have continued to pile up.
Cam Ward is capable of making moves to pick up First Downs with his legs, but the Quarter Back continues to be a little too inconsistent when it comes to throwing into the Secondary. Some of that has to be down to the limited support he has around him, but Ward will know his team need to keep him in third and manageable spots in this game if the Tennessee Titans are to have any real sustained success.
It is going to be the performance on that side of the ball that determines if the Titans can cover the spread.
Asking the Defensive unit to make the stops is not going to be something they can trust to happen and instead the Titans have to be involved in a high-scoring game if the cover is going to be achieved.
Jacksonville have not been running the ball as well as they would have liked in recent games, but they have been going through a difficult portion of the schedule and the Titans Defensive Line has simply not stopped the run all season. Even the Bye Week may not be enough to address the problems and so the Jaguars should be able to keep Trevor Lawrence in third and manageable spots on the field.
Trevor Lawrence is playing about as well as he has at any time in his time in the NFL and the Quarter Back should be excited about playing a Titans Secondary that was porous before trading away Amani Hooker to the Buffalo Bills.
There is some pass rush pressure that the Titans have been able to generate, but Lawrence is well protected and he will not need to hold onto the ball for too long if the team are able to run the ball as expected.
No one should doubt that the line is a big one, but the Jacksonville Jaguars have just put a couple of blowouts together and they have had a few more days to prepare after beating Baltimore on Thursday Night Football in Week 9. The Divisional rivalry should keep the Jaguars focused and that should play out on the scoreboard with the road team expected to find a way to pull clear and win by around two Touchdowns.
Prediction
Lay the points with the road favourite in this AFC South battle between two teams moving in very different directions.
The Pick :
Tennessee Titans 17-31 Jacksonville Jaguars
