Titans vs Jaguars predictions
As the Tennessee Titans hit the road for their clash with the Jacksonville Jaguars, all eyes will be on Mason Rudolph as he steps up as the starting quarterback. With his projected stats, expect him to push around 210 passing yards and look for Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Calvin Ridley to be key targets. Keep an eye on Tyjae Spears in the backfield; he might not have explosive stats, but his dual-threat ability could bring a surprise or two. Imagine if Spears can break through for a big play—an X-factor the Titans desperately need as they look to elevate themselves beyond their 3-12 record.
Turning to the Jacksonville side of things, Mac Jones could make his mark with a solid performance hovering around the 233-yard passing range. If he gets some rhythm going with Brian Thomas, we're talking about 76 yards and the potential for a touchdown—fun times ahead for Jags fans. And let’s not forget the ground game, with Tank Bigsby leading the charge. Though his projected rushing yards are modest, he's definitely capable of unexpectedly busting a big gain. In this tight contest, Jacksonville's defense, featuring Andre Cisco, might be primed for a sneak interception to shift momentum.
It's a tough call predicting who will triumph at EverBank Stadium, given both teams' identical records. But combining a fresh quarterback start for Tennessee and Jacksonville's superior home stats—albeit not overwhelmingly so—the energy could lean a tad favorably for the Jaguars. They might just edge out with a crucial play or timely defense act. But, hey, anything can happen in the NFL, right? It's one of those clashes where the tension makes the game just that much sweeter.
