Bottom Line

This AFC South matchup is lopsided on paper. Jacksonville is fighting for playoff positioning, while Tennessee is in freefall. The Jaguars’ defense and Trevor Lawrence’s leadership should carry them, but Derrick Henry’s health is the X-factor. Expect Jacksonville to control the game, with the UNDER favored due to both teams’ offensive limitations.
