300-Unit NFL Monday Money Maker - TENNESSEE TITANS
These are two of the strangest teams in the NFL. Jacksonville looks absolutely horrible early in the season but has totaled 67 points in its last two wins. On the other side in Tennessee who is fourth in the NFL at 26.4 points per game but had their QB benched earlier in the season for poor play. I like the balance the Titans have on offense and I’m looking for them to win this one by 10 points tonight in this AFC South Division contest.
Tennessee had 321 total yards in a 34-27 win in Dallas last weekend and got 131 yards rushing and two TDs from All-Pro RB Chris Johnson. QB Vince Young has thrown for 464 yards, four TDs and no INTs in his last three games. He’s had trouble with INTs against Jacksonville, but he’s 4-2 in his career against the Jags.
Last year, Johnson shredded the Jags for 228 yards and two TDs in a 30-13 victory and now he faces this Jacksonville team that is 30th in the league, giving up 385 total yards per game.
Jacksonville is really a Jekyll and Hyde team on offense, either looking real good or real bad. And that all stems from QB David Garrard who has 341 yards and five TDs in his last two games. But early in the season he was terrible during blowout losses to the Chargers and Eagles. The Titans are going to focus on pressuring Garrard and make him look bad tonight.
The Jags are on several ATS slides, including 5-14 at home, 4-11 after a spread-cover, 1-5 against winning teams, 5-12 overall and 2-6 on Mondays.
Tennessee has looked outstanding in its two road games this season, going into New York and beating up the Giants and knocking off the Cowboys in Dallas. I’m playing them to do the same to the Jags tonight and get this win by at least 10 points. Play The Titans.
