Overview
The Titans sit at 1-7 and have dropped two straight, with a 36-43 overtime loss at the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8 following a 24-27 home defeat to the Cleveland Browns in Week 7. Tennessee has been outscored 199-144 on the season, and the roster is banged up on both sides of the ball heading into Sunday.
The Jaguars arrive at 6-2 and winning their last two, a 33-10 road win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 9 and a 42-7 blowout of the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8. Jacksonville has outscored opponents 229-121 this season and comes in as the far more complete team by every measure.
This one tilts hard toward Jacksonville. The Jaguars have the better record, the better point differential, and a defense that's been generating pressure and takeaways. Tennessee is dealing with injuries at linebacker and along the offensive line, and the Titans simply haven't shown the consistency to hang with a team playing this well.
Key players
Cam Ward completed 26 of 40 passes for 304 yards and 2 touchdowns with a 104.6 rating in Week 8, and he's had a completion percentage of 60 or better in six of his past seven outings.
Tony Pollard led the team with 137 scrimmage yards and 2 rushing touchdowns in Week 8, and he's chasing his third straight game with 130-plus scrimmage yards and multiple touchdowns.
Wan'Dale Robinson led the Titans with 6 catches for 57 yards and a touchdown in Week 8.
Gunnar Helm hauled in 5 receptions for a career-high 76 yards in Week 8.
Carnell Tate is out with a shoulder injury, removing one of Tennessee's starting receivers from the lineup.
Keys to the game
Protect Cam Ward up front against a Jaguars pass rush that includes Travon Walker, who's posted a tackle for loss in three of his past four games.
Lean on Tony Pollard to control the clock on the ground and limit possessions for Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville offense.
Get stops from a shorthanded linebacker group missing Anthony Hill Jr. and Cody Barton, with Cedric Gray looking for his third straight game with eight or more tackles against Jacksonville.
Fantasy angles
Start Tony Pollard with confidence — he's projected for 12.0 DraftKings points and has been the engine of this offense in the passing and running game alike.
Cam Ward is a solid streaming option at 11.0 projected points given his dual-threat ability and recent efficiency through the air.
Wan'Dale Robinson is a reasonable flex play at 6.5 projected points after leading the team in catches and yards last time out.
Carnell Tate is a clear sit this week — he's out with a shoulder injury and won't factor into the game plan.
Joey Slye is strictly a deep-league streaming option at kicker, projected for 6.6 points in a game where Tennessee's offense may struggle to finish drives.
Prediction
The market sets this one at Jacksonville Jaguars 29, Tennessee Titans 18, with Jacksonville favored by 11 points and the total sitting at 46. That lines up with the shape of this matchup — a Jaguars offense that's been scoring in bunches against a Titans defense missing key pieces at linebacker, with Tennessee's offense capable of moving the ball in stretches but unlikely to keep pace over four quarters.
