The Jacksonville Jaguars have a chance to qualify for the postseason, but to get to the promised land, they’ll have to beat the visiting Tennessee Titans.
The Titans in their last game of 2023 were beaten 26-3 by the Houston Texans as visitors. The Jacksonville Jaguars defeated the Carolina Panthers at home 26-0 and keep the first place in their division.
The Jaguars are favored by 3.5 points in this one, and they’re sitting at -185 on the moneyline. Translation: the Jags are expected to win, and if you’re betting on them to do just that, you’d need to lay down $185 to pocket a cool $100 in profit. The Titans, meanwhile, are the underdogs at +150 on the moneyline, which means a $100 bet on them would net you $150 if they manage to upset the Jaguars.
The Jags are coming off a shutout win, and they’re gunning for the AFC South title with a victory here. The Titans, on the flip side, are licking their wounds after a loss to the Texans. But here’s the thing: the Titans have a solid record against the spread as home underdogs, and divisional games can get tricky.

Why Bet on the Tennessee Titans?
The Tennessee Titans are wrapping up the regular season as one of the worst teams in the NFL, as evidenced by their 5-11 record, being a poor all-around team offensively and defensively.
In their last game, the franchise was humiliated 26-3 against the Houston Texans, with a night to forget for quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who failed to connect for a touchdown pass in 20 attempts. He was replaced by Will Levis, who finished with 16 yards rushing and no impact.
They have three games in a row without scoring more than 20 points, while, defensively, they have received more than 20 points in four of their last five matches.
To make matters worse, this team has three losses in a row and are in last place in the AFC South, so it will only have the role of judge against the Jaguars. The future of the Colts and Texans will be in their hands.
At home, this team has a 4-4 record, which at least can bring some hope to close the campaign with a smile.
Quarterback Levis is listed as questionable, as are Quinton Bohanna and Tre Avery, while Colton Dowell is injured.
Why Bet on the Jacksonville Jaguars?
Jacksonville Jaguars are one of the NFL’s movers and shakers and lead the AFC South with a 9-7 record, the same as the Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans. A win puts them in the postseason.
In their last performance, the Jaguars beat the Carolina Panthers 26-0, even though quarterback CJ Beathard did not throw a single touchdown pass. The star of the night was Travis Etienne, who finished with two touchdowns.
Beathard’s season has not been one for the record books, as he has thrown 19 touchdown passes, but he was intercepted 14 times. He‘s not been able to fill Trevor Lawrence’s shoes.
Jacksonville have the easiest opponent of the group and close as visitors, which has been good for them during the whole campaign since they have a 5-2 record on the road. It can be said, that this season has been stronger by what they have done away from home.
Despite the victory over the Panthers, the Jaguars were coming off five consecutive losses, mainly because the defense was weak.
To achieve the longed-for victory in Tennessee, they will not count on Jamar Agnwe, Christian Kirk, and Christian Braswell due to injury, while Trevor Lawrence is still day-to-day. Zay Jones is also a doubt.
