Why Bet on the Tennessee Titans?

In their last 3 games, the Titans have scored 14 points twice and 13 points once. The problem is at quarterback.

Ryan Tannehill is out for the season. Rookie Malik Willis isn’t close to starting at quarterback. Backup Joshua Dobbs has never been a legit starter.

Because defenses mustn’t respect the pass, Derrick Henry hasn’t had many holes in which to run through.

Tennessee’s defense is great against the rush. Opponents average around 80 yards per rush versus the Titans’ defense.

But the D is one-dimensional. Tennessee ranks dead last in passing yards allowed per game. Opponents average over 279 yards each contest. In the first head-to-head, Trevor Lawrence threw for 368 yards and tossed 3 TDs against Tennessee’s defense.

Why Bet on the Jacksonville Jaguars?

Urban Meyer didn’t do many things right when he was Jacksonville’s coach. One thing he did that has panned out is drafting Trevor Lawrence with the top pick.

Lawrence has turned into one of the league’s best quarterbacks. The former Clemson Tiger has thrown for 3,901 yards and 24 TDs. Trevor has also rushed for over 500 yards and has scored 5 rushing TDs.

RB1 Travis Etienne has rushed for over 1,000 yards. The two have led the Jaguars’ offense to 30 or more points in 3 of the Jags’ last 4 games.

Jacksonville’s defense has turned into one of the better units in the NFL. The Jags rank twelfth in points allowed per at 20.9.

Rookie Devin Lloyd is a star. Lloyd has 58 solo tackles and 3 interceptions this season. Lloyd’s fellow rookie, top pick Travon Walker, has 22 solo tackles, 3.5 sacks, a forced fumble, and a pick.

Josh Allen, the true star of the Jaguars’ D, has 8 sacks. The Jags’ D is for real.

Chiefs vs. Raiders Betting Trends

Titans are 0-4-2 ATS in their last 6 games.
Tennessee is 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 on the road.
Under is 8-1 in Tennessee’s last 9 versus the AFC.
Jaguars are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games.
Jacksonville is 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 versus the AFC.
Under is 4-0 in Jacksonville’s last 4 games versus a team with a losing road record.

Chiefs vs. Raiders Expert Betting Predictions

The odds on the Jaguars have floated between the opening -7 to -6 to now at -6.5. The odds won’t take a huge drop until Friday night or Saturday some time when pro bettors realize the value on Jacksonville.

Tennessee is a broken team. The Titans’ offense is a mess. The defense is a disaster and Lawrence already dominated Tennessee.

There’s nothing since the Jaguars beat the Titans 36-22 that tells us the outcome of Saturday’s game should be any different. Jacksonville should have no trouble covering the spread.
