Two teams trending in opposite directions meet in the de-facto AFC South title game when the 8-8 Jaguars host the 7-9 Titans in the nightcap of Saturday's Week 18 doubleheader. Tenne see's attempting to keep their three-year postseason streak alive while the Jaguars look to clinch a playoff berth in Doug Pedersen's first year as head coach.Tenne see enters Saturday's winner-take-all game on a six-game losing skid, most recently falling to the Cowboys 27-13. Their Week 17 matchup was more of a dre s rehearsal for QB Josh Dobbs, who will make his second straight start with the Titans in need of a stable signal-caller following Ryan Tannehill's ankle injury. Tenne see opted to rest a fair amount of their starters, most notably bell-cow RB Derrick Henry (hip). A suming he's healthy, Henry is likely to receive a ma sive workload with the Titans' season on Matt Cullen Jersey the line given he rushed for 121 yards on 7.1 yards per carry in Tenne see's Week 14 lo s to Jacksonville.On the other side of things,Jacksonville had its way over Houston in Week 17, cruising to a 31-3 road win. The Jaguars'late-season surge has been fueled by Trevor Lawrence, who's taken a ma sive leap in his second season. Lawrence has led the Jaguars to four straight wins, and if they can win a fifth straight, they'll be hosting a playoff game for the first time since 2017.WEEK 18 NFL BETTING: For those looking for a play, we'll give you all the information you need before placing a wager on Jaguars-Titans, including the ,tips, and our prediction for this Week 18 AFC South showdown. Spread:Jaguars -6.5(-110); Titans+6.5(-110)Over/Under:40Moneyline:Jaguars-275; Titans +225In the preseason look-ahead lines, Tenne see actually sat as three-point road favorites, which made sense given the Titans were pegged as AFC South contenders while the Jaguars weren't expected to be as succe sful as they are. Due to Marcus Foligno Men Jersey Tenne se's instability at quarterback coupled with Jacksonville's red-hot play of late, the Jaguars re-opened as 6.5-point favorites on the spread and three-dollar favorites on the moneyline. The total's been bet down a tad, sitting at 38.5 after opening up at 39, as not much offense is expected. The Titans lead the all-time series over the Jaguars 34-22. Before their Week 14 road win, the Jaguars had been on a five-game losing skid in the series. Tenne see has had its way of late, winning nine of the past 11 meetings. Jacksonville's look for their first two-game winning streak over the Titans since 2014-15 when the Jaguars took down the Titans in Week 16 of '14 and Week 11 of '15. -- Tenne see's amid an ATS drought, posting an 0-5-1 ATS mark over its past six games. The Titans' last cover came back in its 27-17 win over the Packers in Week 11.-- Jacksonville enters Saturday night's contest in the opposite direction, covering in five of its past Victor Rask Women Jersey six games. Jacksonville's covered in four straight games, with its lone non-cover coming in a 40-14 lo s to Detroit in Week 13.-- According to , "Doug Pederson is 10-3 straight up after having won four out of his last five games over his coaching career." Josh Dobbs' effectivene s as a pa serSince Ryan Tannehill went down with an ankle injury, the Titans' air attack has been completely grounded. Tenne see's offense was already towards the bottom of the league in drop-back succe s rate, but in its past two games, it's sported just a 36.4-percent drop-back succe s rate (29th in NFL). Dobbs' insertion gives the Titans a better shot at moving the ball through the air relative to Malik Willis. With over a week to prep, there's a chance Dobbs improves on last week's performance (20-39 pa sing, 232 pa sing yards, TD, INT). Jacksonville's defense is susceptible through the air, allowing the sixth-highest drop-back succe s rate (48.2 percent) since Week 10. If Dobbs can't find his groove as a pa ser though, generating enough offense to stay competitive will be tough.Etienne versus the Titans' run defenseWhile the Titans' pa s defense ranks toward the bottom of the league in most stat categories, their strong suit has been their ability to stop the run. Entering Week 18, the Titans rank atop the league in both rushing succe s rate (33.2 percent), and EPA/rush (-0.180). With Jacksonville employing the seventh-highest early-down run rate (50.2 percent), the Titans can put themselves in favorable third-down situations if they can limit Travis Etienne on early downs. Holding Etienne in check won't be easy, as the second-year back is averaging 98 rushing yards per game over the past three weeks.Who wins the turnover battle?Jacksonville's 36-22 win over Tenne see in Week 14 was impre sive, but it's a lot easier to notch a two- Victor Rask Kids Jersey score victory in the NFL when you sport a plus-four turnover margin. Jacksonville's ability to win the turnover battle was a major catalyst in the victory, but the game could have been much closer than the final score had the Jaguars not created four more turnovers. If Tenne see ends up sporting a positive turnover margin at the end of the game, it could potentially claim the division title. 14-2.That's Trevor Lawrence's TD-to-INT rate since Week 9. As we alluded to above, taking care of the football is crucial, and that's exactly what Lawrence has done over his past eight games. Before Week 9, Lawrence posted a 10:6 TD-to-INT rate after a rookie campaign that saw Lawrence to s 17 interceptions to just 12 touchdowns. Lawrence's ability to play mistake-free football can lead Jacksonville to a playoff berth and maybe even a win or two in the postseason. With two teams entering this winner-take-all game in opposite directions, it's easy to side with the red-hot team and back the Jaguars on the spread to notch a comfortable home win. However, the betting market has already priced the Jaguars as fairly hefty favorites, and given the Titans' ability to stop the run coupled with a better performance from Dobbs in his second start, the Titans can hang around. We're not expecting an outright win, but we think Tenne see does enough to snap its ice-cold ATS streak when its backs are seemingly against the wall.PREDICTION: Jaguars23, Titans 20.Tenne see (+6.5) covers the spread with the Eric Fehr Kids Jersey game going OVER the total (40).
