Titans Continue Playoff March in Road Clash with Slumping Jaguars

The Tennessee Titans look to continue their chase for the AFC South divisional crown with a third straight outright road victory on Saturday, when they take on the toothless Jacksonville Jaguars in a Christmas Eve matchup at EverBank Field. The 2-12 Jaguars have lost nine straight and have failed to cover in four straight home dates.

Shark Bites
  • The total has gone UNDER in the Titans' last six games on the road against the Jaguars.
  • The Jaguars are 4-14 SU in their last 18 games against their division.
  • The Titans are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite.

The 8-6 Titans enter Week 16 tied with Houston atop the AFC South following last week's 19-17 win over the Kansas City Chiefs as 6-point road underdogs. That also extended their current straight-up win streak to three games, and marked their first back-to-back wins against the spread this season. The point total has finished UNDER in three of four, ending a 7-0 run for the OVER.

The Jaguars generated just 150 total yards in last week's narrow 21-20 loss to the Texans as 3.5-point road underdogs, and have tallied 20 or more points just four times in their past 10 outings. Jacksonville is a meagre 2-15 SU in its past 17 as home underdogs by four or more points, but covered in its past two. Doug Marrone will be calling the shots for the Jags as he'll take over head coaching duties on an interim basis after Gus Bradley was canned earlier in the week. 

Tennessee has averaged 39 points per game in two straight wins over Jacksonville, but the Jaguars have posted SU wins in four of five home dates with the Titans, going undefeated ATS during that stretch
