With the Jaguars’ offensive firepower, they could easily surpass expectations, especially if the Titans fail to establish their running game.

Key Matchups and Game Flow

Jaguars Offense vs. Titans Defense: Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars’ offense will aim to exploit the Titans’ defensive weaknesses. With their ability to score in bunches, an early lead could force the Titans into an uncomfortable passing-heavy game plan.
Titans Offense vs. Jaguars Defense: The Titans will likely lean heavily on their running game to control the clock and limit the Jaguars’ offensive opportunities. However, their limited scoring potential puts them at a disadvantage in a shootout scenario.

Final Thoughts
This AFC South showdown highlights the contrasting trajectories of these two teams. The Jaguars have a decent offense and a defense capable of big stops, while the Titans’ limited offensive output makes them more reliant on defensive heroics.

Prediction After Adjustments

Players to Watch

Jaguars: Trevor Lawrence (QB), Travis Etienne (RB)
Titans: Tony Pollard (RB)
