Titans favored over Jaguars ahead of Sunday

The Tennessee Titans (5-5) have evened out their record following a 35-32 victory over the Kanasas City Chiefs.

They’ll look to stay hot coming off the bye week as they face the visiting division rival Jacksonville Jaguars (4-6) on Sunday in Nashville, Tennessee.

The Titans are favored to just that by a point spread of (-3.5), according to Bet MGM.

The most recent clash between the two teams ended in a 20-7 Jags victory in Jacksonville, Florida, but both teams have undergone some changes since that matchup.

Nick Foles has made his return under center, but the Jaguars offense didn’t exactly ignite upon having him back. Jacksonville’s ground game particularly suffered in last week’s loss to the Colts, with just nine combined rushing attempts for a total of 29 yards.

Play-calling was incredibly questionable, given Leonard Fournette’s meager eight carries. The former LSU standout is one of the most established rushers in the league, so one would think the Jags would want to integrate him far more into their game plan.

The Titans have also made a quarterback switch, benching Marcus Mariota in favor of Ryan Tannehill in the third quarter of Week 6’s shutout loss to the Denver Broncos.

The team hasn’t looked back since, with Tannehill posting a 3-1 overall record as the starter.

The signal-caller totals 1,161 passing yards with eight touchdowns and four interceptions since taking over.

The Titans and Jaguars are set to kick off at 3:05 p.m. CT on Sunday in Nissan Stadium.
