Regardless of what happened last weekend, the AFC South was going to be determined in week 18 when the Titans (7-9) visit the Jaguars (8-8). Nobody would have blamed Jacksonville for laying up considering the situation, but they went all in and dominated Houston 31-3. Tennessee on the other hand fell 27-13 to Dallas for their sixth straight loss.
Before Betting on Titans vs Jaguars
The Jaguars went on a late season run that was kick-started by a 36-22 win in Tennessee in week 14. They’ve followed that up with an impressive 40-34 comeback win over Dallas and have beaten the Jets and Houston on the road.
It has to be considered a success that Jacksonville is staring down a playoff berth in Trevor Lawrence’s second year and coach Doug Pederson’s first. Even with a 1st round exit that is valuable experience, and the Jaguars look headed that way thanks largely in part to Lawrence who had 7 TD passes in wins over the Titans and Cowboys. The Jaguars also have a vastly improving running game led by Travis Etienne, Jr. (also in his first season) as he has 100+ yards in two of the last three.
It’s hard to believe that the Titans were 7-3 at one point this season in cruise control for an AFC South championship. They are in a six game freefall that may lose some people their jobs, especially on an offense that has scored more than 16 points just once since November 17th. All of Tennessee’s hopes rely on QB Josh Dobbs in just the second start of his career.

Titans vs Jaguars Prediction & Pick
Jaguars fans know that right when things seem to be going good is right about when they go bad. This is the biggest hyped game in Duval County since the Blake Bortles era, but this seems to be a different Jacksonville team mostly because they are young and high draft picks from successful schools. Jacksonville will cover here maybe not because of anything they do, but due to the limitations of the Titans offense.
Pick: Jaguars -6.5
