Jaguars vs Titans Prediction
The current betting odds have the Jaguars listed as a 3.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Jaguars have looked terrible in their games this season with their 2-10 record overall which has them right at the bottom of the AFC South with the worst record in the entire NFL. They have been struggling all season and even lost their starting QB to another injury in their last one, but Mac Jones almost pulled off the comeback when he came in and the Jags showed some fight in that one. Meanwhile, the Titans have also looked terrible in their games this season with their 3-9 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the AFC South with one of the worst records in the NFL too. The Titans have a slightly better record and got a big boost when they beat the Texans the other week, but now they are coming off a terrible loss to the Commanders in their last one. They will be looking to bounce back now that they are back at home against a much weaker team, but they have been so bad all season that they shouldn't be a favorite in any games. Will Levis has been really up and down all season too and is constantly making mistakes that costs them games. The Titans might edge out the win against a bad Jags team here, but they won't win it by more than a field goal and the Jags did show some fight last week. The best way to place a bet here is on the Jaguars to cover the spread in this game.
