Expert NFL Predictions Week 16 Analysis: The Jaguars have made progress with a fast and hard-hitting defense that can lay some wood. The Titans will trot out bench All-Star QB Charlie Whitehurst (75.4 career passer rating) who has never proven that he could hack it as a starter in the NFL. The Titans are punch-less on offense with a leaky offensive line, ordinary running backs and wide receivers that have trouble separating. The Jaguars boast a front-seven that is arguably among the top-5 in the league and Tennessee will be missing their best target in WR Kendall Wright (hand). Titans vs Jaguars Betting Odds Total

This will be a close game but Jaguars rookie QB Blake Bortles will play better than the multi-millionaire backup Charlie Whitehurst. The Titans QB try to will dial up sure-hande TE Delanie Walker (52 rec. 793 yds 4 TD) to keep the chains moving but his weak rushing attack will put him into turnover-friendly situations. The rocket-armed rookie Bortles (70.6 passer rating) has developed a rapport with WR Cecil Shorts (6’0″ 203 4.59 40-speed)  and will be handing off to angry 235 Lb. RB Toby Gerhart (4.50 40-speed) who is out to prove he is not a bust as a free-agent signing. Play a Jaguars team that has more offensive weapons to win an ugly affair.
