Expert NFL Predictions Week 16 Analysis: The Jaguars have made progress with a fast and hard-hitting defense that can lay some wood.

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.
