The Tennessee Titans are finally less than a touchdown underdog! They are a 6.5-point home underdog against the Jacksonville Jaguars this week. No game feels all that winnable for the Titans, but this is one where they could have a chance if Cam Ward continues to play the way he has over the last couple of weeks.
The Jaguars’ defense isn’t bad, but it is not as good as the defenses the Titans have faced over the last couple of weeks. Jacksonville ranks 17th in yards allowed (352.5 per game), 24th in passing yards allowed (240 per game), and 15th in points allowed (22.7). They are, however, really good against the run, allowing only 83.8 yards per game. That is the best in the NFL. Good thing the Titans can’t run the ball anyway.
Ward has shown some real growth over the last few weeks. Now, he gets a chance to go against a pass defense that isn’t in the top 10 in the league. Will that be enough for the Titans to pull out their second win of the season?
