The Titans are on a two game winning streak, but they’ve been winning with smoke & mirrors!   The Jags rebounded from a beating at the hands of the Houston Texans and won on the road in Philadelphia. 

The Titans whole offense since Vince Young has become QB has revolved around the running game.  Travis Henry (412 yards rushing) has been very good of late but the Jaguars have a very good defense that allows 96.7 yards rushing and 3.7 yards a carry, so every yard will be a tough one.  If the Titans have trouble running the ball, the competitive part of this game could be over quickly.  The Jaguars secondary already has picked off 9 passes and they are a very physical unit that tries to intimidate the offense. 

The Jaguars are going to start David Garrard again this week which means they will be running the football.  The Titans have the second worst run defense in the NFL, as they allow 162.1 yards rushing per game and 4.9 yards per carry.  Fred Taylor (554 yards rushing) and Maurice Drew (264 yards rushing) should have little problem getting their yards and controlling the clock for the Jaguars.

The Jaguars should win a low-scoring game, because their defense is better equipped to shut down the Titans running game and make Vince Young make mistakes.
