Titans vs. Jaguar Recent History – Jacksonville Aim to Win Season Series
Meeting during Week 3 action, Jacksonville hosted Tennessee and posted a 20-7 win. Marcus Mariota was still the starting quarterback for the Titans while Gardner Minshew was under center, replacing injured starter Nick Foles. Prior to that, Tennessee went 4-0 straight up and against the spread during 2017 and 2018 season series sweeps.
Jaguars vs. Titans Final Thoughts and Pick
Tennessee turned to Tannehill after a 16-0 loss in Denver back in Week 6. With eight touchdowns and just three interceptions, Tannehill has been a solid game manager during four starts. It helps that he has Henry, who posted 191 total yards and two scores during the Titans’ 35-32 upset win over Kansas City at home in Week 10.
As expected, Foles was a little rusty during his return last week and it’s wise to remember that he is playing behind an offensive line that doesn’t generate much protection. Foles’s return did spark the rookie receiver Chark, who caught eight passes for 104 yards and two scores last week. Backing the better defense, at home with rest, seems like the smart play. Take the Titans.
Pick: Titans -3.5
Season Record: 7-20
