Sportsbook Review: Bet the Jaguars to cover vs Titans
C Jackson Cowart writes: “The Jaguars have plenty to play for in Week 18 with the AFC South title still on the line and the No. 1 seed in the AFC up for grabs. While this would be a classic letdown spot for Trevor Lawrence and Co., I expect them to close the year strong after a remarkable season under first-year coach Liam Coen.”
Sportsnaut: Jacksonville Jaguars 28, Tennessee Titans 14
Matt Johnson writes: “The Jacksonville Jaguars can clinch the AFC South with a victory, and there would at least be a shot at the conference’s No. 1 seed. Suffice it to say, Trevor Lawrence and Co. very much have something to play for in Week 18. While Cam Ward has performed like a franchise-caliber quarterback to close out the season, his weak supporting cast will really be exposed in this matchup. Jacksonville comes out on top in dominating fashion, but it will just narrowly miss out on home-field advantage and a first-round bye.”
