The Jacksonville Jaguars will face off against the Tennessee Titans in what should be a “get right” spot for the latter. Jacksonville continues its rebuild, as they’re 2-10 and on a four-game losing streak. Tennessee has lost two in a row as they struggle with injuries, although they’re still 8-4 and in first place in the AFC South. You’ll find the NFL odds along with our pick and a Jaguars vs. Titans prediction in this article.
Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Tennessee Titans pick, prediction | Week 14
- Spread: Titans -9.5 (Odds provided by DraftKings Sportsbook)
- Moneyline:Â Jaguars +340, Titans -450
- Over/Under:Â 44
The Titans’ offense is dealing with injuries to Derrick Henry, A.J. Brown, and Julio Jones. They’re averaging only 16.3 points per game over their last three outings, including 26 points over their current two-game losing streak. Over that span, Tennessee is only averaging .246 points per play, which ranks in the bottom 10 of the NFL.

Jones has been designated to return from the injured reserve this week, and he could suit up for the Titans. Although Jones hasn’t produced well in 2021, he’ll be an immediate upgrade over Tennessee’s current group of receivers.
Dontrell Hilliard and D’Onta Foreman are also coming off of great games against the New England Patriots, and they could continue to progress as they get more carries in Tennessee’s backfield. This isn’t necessarily an elite offense at the moment, but they should find more success against Jacksonville than they’ve found in recent weeks.
Jaguars vs. Titans betting trends
Jacksonville’s been one of the most overvalued teams in the NFL by Vegas this season.
They enter this game with a 4-8 record against the spread (ATS), covering in only 33.3% of their games. They’re also failing to cover by an average of 5.4 points per game.
Tennessee’s found plenty of success against the spread, covering in 58.3% of their games with a 7-5 ATS record. They’re beating the spread by an average of 1.4 points per game this season.
These teams are opposites in terms of the game total this season. The Jaguars have found the under in a league-high 83.3% of their contests, while the Titans have hit the over in 58.3% of theirs. That mark ranks second in the NFL.
Jaguars vs. Titans prediction
This game is a battle between two of the coldest defenses in the NFL, as both teams have struggled to slow down opposing offenses over their last three games. The key difference is that one of these offenses comes with upside.
I expect Tennessee to start to find more success as they get healthier offensively. This is the type of game that can turn a team around for the playoffs, as the Titans need a big win or they could continue to struggle heading into the postseason.

I’m backing the better roster with the better coach that’s playing for more in this situation. They’ll look to make a statement against a team that is seemingly in a constant rebuild.
Jaguars vs. Titans Prediction: Titans 24, Jaguars 10
