Titans vs. Jaguars: Odds, Point Spread & Over-Under
The only way that will happen is if the Jaguars can find a way to steal the division away from the two-time defending AFC South-champion Colts. Marcus Mariota is completing 65.6 percent of his passes for 1,795 yards, 13 touchdowns and six interceptions. He had missed the win over the Saints with the injury the previous week.
The Jaguars have given up 28 sacks on quarterback Blake Bortles, giving Titans sack leader Wesley Woodyard an opportunity to add to his four on the season.
“He had been blocking better the last two weeks, which has really been demanded of that group”, interim coach Mike Mularkey said. Hunter had surgery on Monday and his loss further depletes a wide receiver group that was already missing Kendall Wright on Sunday with a sprained MCL in his left knee.
Also, Mularkey said defensive tackle Al Woods would miss at least a couple of games due to a high ankle sprain suffered in Sunday’s game.
CB Jason McCourty (groin) is having a second surgery on his injured groin and will be placed on injured reserve, ending his season with only four games played.
When the 2014 National Football League season ended, the Tennessee Titans and Tampa Bay Buccaneers tied for the worst record in the NFL.
With cornerback Perrish Cox is recuperating from an aggravated hamstring and Blidi Wreh-Wilson also hampered by a hamstring injury, young guys B.W. Webb and Cody Riggs have been thrust into the limelight.
“We’ve got to be smart about how we go about this week, because it was a physical game”. “I anticipated that. The schedule has been kind of formatted to handle that with a light walkthrough tonight and a later morning for them tomorrow morning”. “They can get a few rest and come in a little bit later”. We’re not going to practice till the afternoon tomorrow.
Titans QB Marcus Mariota has had strong performances in his rookie season. On the ground, Dexter McCluster had 25 yards and one touchdown in three attempts. They opened the season by losing to the Carolina Panthers and then lost in week three to the New England Patriots, two of the NFL’s remaining undefeated teams. Jacksonville still has more flaws than Tennessee does.
-PASS DEFENSE: D. Cam Newton was 21 of 26 passing for 217 yards passing and one touchdown. Bortles has two or more touchdown passes in five straight games.
Surprisingly, it wasn’t the defense that hurt the Titans in their loss to the Panthers. He also scored on a short keeper but was intercepted in the end zone.
