Titans vs. Jaguars: Win No. 2 for Jacksonville

While the Jaguars are not headed to the playoffs this year, Adam Stites of SB Nation’s Jacksonville Jaguars blog, Big Cat Country, is just glad to see a win that displays competence in several aspects of the game.

Britt has missed two games this season for the Titans but is healthy coming out of a bye. It’s been a slow year for the oft-injured receiver, who has caught 27 passes for 312 yards. Britt has just one touchdown on the year, and a single-game high of 67 yards.

Fantasy Take: Talent-wise, there are few better than Britt. Production-wise, there are few not worth starting over him. With injury questions abound and inconsistency everywhere, there are better places to look than Britt. It’s possible that eventually he could break out for 200 yards, maybe even on Sunday, but it’s not something you can count on.

After a 1-4 start, the Titans are trying to claw back in to playoff contention, but a loss in Jacksonville would drop the Titans to 4-7 with a giant hole to dig themselves out of.

Alfie Crow from Big Cat Country says that wide receiver Kevin Elliott is a player to watch for the final six games of the season:

The total in the game is 44.5 points, a mark Jacksonville has met in five of their 10 games. The Titans have combined with their opponents to score at least 44.5 points in all but three of their games. In total, the Jags have come in over the total five times this season, while Tennessee has done so six times.

The Jacksonville offense is averaging 16.4 points scored and 28.9 points allowed per game, while the Titans score an average of 21.9 and give up an average of 31.1. In the last five meetings between the two teams, the combined score has come in under the total.

CBS Sports gives picks both straight up and against the spread. Five of CBS’s eight experts believe Jacksonville will cover the spead. That flips when they pick the winner, as five believe the Titans will prevail.

Two of three Yahoo! Sports forecasters selected the Titans, while their users selected the Jaguars. Of the seven pundits on ESPN’s panel that have made their selections, five have picked Tennessee.
