Their offense is averaging 354.2 YPG while their defense is allowing 354.1 YPG.

 

 

The Jaguars are coming into this game as a 9 point underdog with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Jaguars were awful in their last game and they should be looking to play better in this game to make up for their last one. They will play hard in this game since it is a divisional game and they actually played well in their last division game, putting up a good fight against the Colts in Indianapolis and only losing that one by 6 points. The Titans have lost 2 straight games and have not been playing well since losing their star RB Derrick Henry. They also have a lot of injuries to their receiving corps and have been very thin on offense in their recent games. They do not have enough offensive power anymore to win games by that many points and the Jags will come to play hard in this game and make it difficult for them to win. The best bet to place here is on the Jaguars to cover the spread.
