Jaguars vs. Titans: Does Jacksonville Cover -10.5?

Jaguars Backed to Cover Against Titans and Contend for AFC’s Top Seed

The Jaguars head to Tennessee as 10.5-point road favorites against the Titans. Jacksonville has continued to cover large spreads, including against the Ravens and Colts, winning by the expected margins or more.

Despite another potentially tricky road matchup, the extra rest should benefit a Jaguars team that previously spent two weeks in London and recently played on Thursday night. Even though some newly acquired players will not play in this game, including Jordan Davis, Jacksonville’s defense is still considered strong enough to cover the spread.

Tony Pollard’s under on 58.5 rushing yards was also highlighted. The Jaguars’ defense remains a key reason for confidence in Jacksonville.

If the Jaguars do not win the AFC or secure the number one seed, it will be viewed as a missed opportunity. Their schedule lines up well, they have been dominant at home, and defensive additions such as Bates and Davis could help put them over the top.

There is still a possibility that Jacksonville could fall short in the playoffs, particularly given its favorable schedule and matchups against banged-up opponents. Potential challengers include a healthy Cincinnati Bengals team or a Buffalo team led by Josh Allen playing at his best.

Still, the Jaguars should be in pole position for a Super Bowl berth, especially because of how well they play at home.
