Jacksonville Jaguars vs Tennessee Titans Prediction

The Tennessee Titans will beat the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Tennessee Titans will cover the spread, and the total will go under.

While the Jaguars boast a higher scoring average, their increased offensive output comes from a very different game plan that relies heavily on a much higher number of rushing attempts. The Titans, on the other hand, present a more balanced yet conservative approach by averaging only 15.2 points per game and 200.9 passing yards per game at a completion rate of around 58.3%. Their running game, while not particularly dominant, allows them to control the clock and limit opponent possessions, averaging 77.5 rushing yards on just over 20 attempts. This method keeps the score low and makes the Titans more competitive against higher-scoring teams like the Jaguars.

Defensively, the Titans’ strategy should neutralize a sizable portion of the Jaguars’ offensive strengths. The Jaguars may have an average of 24.3 points per game; however, their reliance on a considerable running attack could play into the Titans’ hands. Given that the Titans’ defense is designed to limit big plays, this matchup presents an advantage for Tennessee. The tendency for both teams to be more run-focused can lead to a lesser score. Thus, with the predicted outcome being a Titans victory while covering the spread, the total points scored should also remain limited due to clock management and sustained drives keeping the scoring low.
