In a highly anticipated matchup, the Jacksonville Jaguars will face off against the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium on Sunday at 1:00 PM ET. As divisional foes, both teams have extra motivation to secure a victory in this game.

The Jaguars enter this game with mixed form, having lost four out of their last five matches. However, they are coming off a convincing win against the Carolina Panthers, where they secured a 26-0 victory. The Titans, on the other hand, suffered a 26-3 loss to the Houston Texans in their previous outing.

This game holds additional significance as these two teams faced each other earlier in the season during Week 11. The Jaguars emerged victorious with a dominant 34-14 win over the Titans. Notably, the Jaguars' defense achieved a rare feat by shutting out the Titans' offense, holding them to zero points.

Despite being on the road, the Jaguars are considered slight favorites in this matchup. The odds indicate that they have a 62% chance of winning, while the Titans have a 38% chance. The initial spread opened with the Jaguars favored by 3.5 points and has remained unchanged.

As fans eagerly await this divisional clash, both teams will be looking to make a statement and end their respective seasons on a positive note.
