2018 NFL Picks, score predictions for Week 14

Jacksonville Jaguars (4-8) at Tennessee Titans (6-6)

Thursday, December 6, 8:20PM ET

If I had to guess, the Jacksonville Jaguars’ win in Week 13 was a fluke. They’ve been awful all season long, failing to get top-notch play even from their “elite” defense. Shutting out the Indianapolis Colts doesn’t make them a team worth taking seriously.

What was more impressive was the Tennessee Titans’ come-from-behind win this past Sunday. They stiffened up when they needed to, and mustered enough offense to come away with a much-needed victory. If they have any hopes of extending their season past December, the Titans need to keep the wins coming in Week 14.

Luckily for them, doing so against the Jaguars shouldn’t be too tall a task. As good as their defense can be at times, the Jacksonville offense is a joke. Blake Bortles has officially been stamped as a bust, and Leonard Fournette isn’t good enough to carry them to consistent wins. Plus, the Tennessee defense isn’t half bad with Mike Vrabel calling the shots.

If the Titans plan on booking a trip to the postseason, they must defeat the Jaguars. Even if Marcus Mariota and Co. meets resistance against the Jacksonville defense, they’re good enough to outscore Bortles. The home team notches another win and keeps their playoffs dreams intact.

Prediction: Titans win 20-10
