Match Preview and Betting Predictions

There’s no question that the Jacksonville Jaguars kicked off their 2024 campaign at an inflection point in the leadership of coach Doug Pederson. Their late collapse last season is also evident this season, despite their strong playoff push last season. As such, NFL selections on SportyTrader suggest the Jaguars have a slim chance of making it to the playoffs after suffering four consecutive losses ahead of their game against the Texans.

Looking at the Jaguars’ recent performance against Detroit, Vikings, Eagles, and Green Bay Packers, betting experts expect them to step up during this game. That said, experts at SportyTrader predict the Jaguars will defeat the Titans on the road by 15.7-18.5. However, the Titans seem stronger than the Jaguars based on their odds, so it might be more valuable to pick the Jaguars to cover the spread at +3.5 and the total points to range at Under 42.

Can the Titans seek revenge against the Jaguars at home?

The Tennessee Titans hope to seek revenge against the Jacksonville Jaguar at home this December after losing their last match in January. The Titans are still plagued by several issues this season, but they are known to win the league matches they are supposed to. Additionally, the Titans have won more than half of their matches after starting as the underdog of over five points.

Tennessee will travel to the Northwest Stadium to face the Commanders early this December after beating the Texans 32-27 on the road. The Titans also hope to record a victory against the Jaguars in their bid to reach the playoffs as they can’t afford to record more losses in their remaining matches after the Bye Week. That makes this a thrilling AFC South rivalry, although the Titans might attempt to control the clock by keeping the ball away from the Jaguars’ offense.
