Titans vs Jaguars Prediction
The current betting odds have the Jaguars listed as a 12.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Jaguars have looked great in their games this season with their 12-5 record overall which has them right at the top of the AFC South with one of the best records in the entire NFL. They have looked great on their home field too with their 6-1 home record this year. Meanwhile, the Titans have looked terrible in their games this season with their 3-13 record overall which has them right at the bottom of the AFC South with one of the worst records in the entire NFL. They have been a bad road team too with their 2-5 road record this year. The Titans were the worst team in the NFL to start the season and they have definitely gotten better as the season has gone on. They haven't looked as bad lately, but they are still off a 34-26 loss to the Saints in their last one and they were leading that whole game before blowing the lead late. Now they don't have anything to play for in this final game and it will be tough for them to bring their best effort for the Jaguars. The Jaguars have already clinched a playoff spot, but they will still be playing this game as they can clinch the AFC South with a win, no matter what the Texans do. The Jaguars are off a 23-17 win over the Colts in their last one and they struggled in that game with the Colts giving them their last stand, but the Jaguars have a ton of momentum on their side with 7 wins in a row now and they have been rolling over teams lately. Look for the Jags to finish out the season with another big win against one of the worst teams in the NFL and clinch the AFC South here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Jaguars to cover the spread in this game.
Titans Jaguars Prediction: Our NFL Pick for Sunday, January 4, 2026 (1:00 pm ET start time) is Jaguars 35 Titans 10.
