TENNESSE (40) @ JACKSONVILLE (-1 ½)
This game is a toss-up. Short week, and these teams are just about equal. Tennessee’s QB Mariotta, has proven he isn’t a big playmaker that can throw deep. Jacksonville’s backup quarterback Minshew, is also a short to medium range passer. Both quarterbacks, are without their left guards on their offensive line, to protect their blind side. Jacksonville and Tennessee, have a solid front seven on defense. So expect both teams to have a low scoring affair. The team that rushes the football best should win, since both QB’s will be pass rushed, and under pressure. I am leaning more towards Jacksonville, since Mariotta will not be at 100 % with that bum leg. Prediction: Jacksonville 17 Tennessee 15, ATS Jacksonville +1 ½, Under 40.0.
