Monday Night Football Preview Titans at Jaguars

The quarterbacks for tonight’s contest don’t get near the attention that Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre attracts from fans and media, but the Titans, Jaguars and Vikings do have one thing in widespread: they every boast one of many prime-rated feature backs within the recreation today.

Sportsbooks have the line at present set at Tennessee -3 with the Over/Below at 45.5

CJ2 vs. MJD
Chris Johnson got here into the week ranked second total with 485 dashing yards. He would want 151 yards against the Jags to overtake all six backs that jumped forward of him on Sunday mac pro.

Johnson rushed for one hundred twenty five-plus yards in three-of-five games this season including both street games. Tennessee was in Dallas final week and in their second of again-to-again away from residence look for HC Fisher to lean on the ground attack. The final time these groups met Johnson rushed for 228 yards and two touchdowns.

Maurice Jones-Drew struggled with the rest of his team in two losses this 12 months, but within the three wins he is averaged 96 yards on 20-plus carries and now that Garrard has proven enhancements, it would open things up for Jones-Drew.

It is also worth maintaining a tally of Jags rookie RB Deji Karim, who rushed for 70 yards on 15 carries final week in his debut. In a phrase, one NFL scout described Karim as “easy”. He was finding holes and slicing by tackles and really made the most of his chances.

GAMEPLAN
We now have to count on plenty of working in this recreation but the passing assault against these secondaries could end up being the difference. Tennessee has been burned for giant plays and HC Del Rio will go after the Titans deep without hesitation.

Tennessee’s wide receivers have been impressive this 12 months and they’re going up and getting the football. With the Titans making plays down discipline and Young’s skill to scramble, Jacksonville protection could possibly be in for a long night macbook pro.

UNDER THE LIGHTS
Jacksonville is 0-2 SU/ATS the past two years on Monday Night Soccer whereas the Titans boast a 3-1 ATS report over the last three years.

Tennessee is 2-1 ATS on the street, 1-1 ATS vs. division and 1-0 ATS on the street vs. division.

Both of Jacksonville’s games were divisional, one at residence and one away; the Jags misplaced every by double-digits.

PREDICTION
Tennessee put up an excellent combat in Dallas but the recreation really was handed to them after numerous Cowboy errors and penalties. That did not go unnoticed by HC Fisher and he ought to have this team functioning as a much tighter unit.

Jacksonville was a rare instance final week of a soccer team that may lose the turnover battle (-3) and nonetheless come away with a street win. That was Buffalo, nevertheless, and against Tennessee they won’t be afforded the same luxuries tivi 3d.

The Jaguars are final within the league in TD passes allowed and regardless that they are 2-1 SU/ATS at residence it was Michael Vick a quarterback that knows the best way to scramble that beat them. Vick did not beat the Jags with sheer mobility and Young will not need to either. He has enough weapons at his disposal to wear this protection out and at lower than a discipline objective we feel the value here is on the underdog.
Choose: Take the Titans.
