JEFFREY JAMES (Play of the Day)
#101 – #102 Tennessee Titans – Jacksonville Jaguars – UNDER 40 (8:30 est) NFL Network
Both of these teams have been struggling – especially on offense. In their last 2 games 13 points has been the most either of these losers has been able to put up. Both QB situations are terrible and nobody can really be interested in this one. Look for sloppy preparation to lead to sloppy play and a very low scoring game here. Play the under as the play of the day.

NFL FREE PICK
JACKSONVILLE (-3) over Tennessee
8:30 p.m. ET
It’s an absolute clunker of a Thursday night game, but we still see some value in playing the Jags here. First off, while both teams have been dreadful this season, Jacksonville is playing with more fire and showing more promise, covering two out of its last three games, while the Titans are fading fast, dropping their last four against the spread and six of their last seven. Jacksonville has also played better when facing equally bad opponents, going 2-0 ATS this season vs. losing teams, while Tennessee is 1-6 in that same situation. The Titans won the first meeting between these teams at home, 16-14, but that was due mostly to two costly turnovers by the Jaguars, who outgained Tennessee in that game and had more first downs. Lay the short number.
