The Tennessee Titans have a short week this week, playing a prime time game on Thursday night against the Jacksonville Jaguars. After a disappointing loss to the Indianapolis Colts, the Titans will look to get back to .500 against a struggling Jaguars team in a divisional matchup. Let’s look at how these two teams match up on paper through 7 weeks of NFL football.

Points per Game

Titans- 20.9 (20th)

Jaguars- 19.5 (24th)

    Summary

    Although the Jaguars have loads of talent on the offensive side of the ball, they continue to struggle getting anything going. I think their biggest problem is the same problem the Titans had last year in the offensive line. On the defensive side the Jaguars are really good at defending the pass, most of which can be attributed to drafting Jalen Ramsey. Although I’m more than happy with Jack Conklin I was one of the guys advocating for the Titans to take Ramsey number one overall, after all even this year the team continues struggling stopping the pass. The Titans defense should be able to get back on track in this one, but Jacksonville does have a very serious threat at the receiver position,  so Tennessee is going to have to play tighter this week.

    Prediction

    Titans- 27

    Jaguars- 20
