Titans vs. Jaguars 2013, Week 16: Tennessee hangs on in Jacksonville

Fantasy Studs and Duds

Did They Cover?

Our dear Jacksonville friend Alfie Crow brought this to our attention:

At the very least, there are shirtless, be-jortsed old men at the Titans-Jaguars game. But that dude on the right sure does look naked. Our crack investigative team zoned in on what appears to be a sliver of fabric:

Meester, a second round pick by the Jaguars in 2000 out of Northern Iowa, is the only player in franchise history to play for every coach in Jacksonville history. He is playing in his 195th game, the 19th-most among active NFL players. The veteran center didn’t get to see the Jags return to the playoffs this season, but at least he got to add a catch to his resume.

Jacksonville could be looking to add a receiver in the offseason, after all.

Editor’s Update: Maurice Jones-Drew is ACTIVE.

Jones-Drew has not had a great 2013 season, averaging just 3.5 yards per carry (a career low) with five touchdowns in 13 games. His 55.3 yards per game average is the lowest in his career since 2008.

Game Date/Time and Location: Sunday, Dec. 22, 1 p.m. ET at EverBank Field, Jacksonville, Fla.

The Titans are average on both offense and defense. Their offensive statistics sit in the middle of the league and the team has struggled to put up points. Tennessee’s running and passing offenses have both been weak this season.

Alfie Crow of Big Cat Country believes injuries have actually helped the Jaguars:

Either way, the Titans have looked like a much better team than the Jaguars this season. That hasn’t stopped some experts from picking the Jaguars, however. Of SB Nation’s panel of six experts, four are picking Tennessee -- Ryan Van Bibber, Joel Thorman, Jason Chilton and Stephen White. The two picking Jacksonville: David Fucillo and Matt Ufford.

Over at CBS Sports, they’re also somewhat divided. Of the eight experts, five are going with the Titans to win, including Jason La Canfora and Josh Katzowitz. The other three are picking the Jaguars at home, including Pete Prisco and Will Brinson.
