Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Tennessee Titans
This should be a very interesting football game. The Jaguars have won their last two games including last week’s total domination of the Indianapolis Colts 44-17! The Tennessee Titans are on fire as they’ve won 4 in a row including last week’s 26-20 OT victory over the Houston Texans.
The Jaguars will run the ball against the Titans just like the first time they played them. The Jaguars ran for 375 yards last week against the Colts and the Titans have allowed 140.9 yards rushing per game and 4.5 yards per carry so far this season. Look for Fred Taylor (1,083 yards rushing) if healthy, and Maurice Drew (666 yards rushing, 6.1 ypc) to definately get their yards. David Garrard will also take off and get some rushing yards against the Titans. Don’t look for the Jags to throw the ball much, unless the Titans somehow step up and stop their running game, which isn’t likely.
The Titans, who are averaging 140.2 yards rushing per game will test the Jags tough run defense that is only allowing 87.1 yards rushing and 3.4 yards per carry. Still, if Travis Henry (937 yards rushing) is healthy enough to play, he should get his yards. If he can’t play, Chris Brown and LenDale White will split the carries. Vince Young (458 yards rushing, 6.6 ypc) will also get some yards running the football. Vince Young is improving as a passer, but he still better not challenge Rashean Mathis who has 7 interceptions this season.
The Jaguars punished the Titans 37-7 in the first meeting between these teams, but this could be a little different. The Jags are only 2-4 on the road. They punished the Colts at home, but lost to them on the road. The Titans are on a magical roll and they also beat the Colts at home. For some reason, and it’s not logic, I think the Titans are going to win this game at home.
