The Tennessee Titans (1-7) host the Jacksonville Jaguars (6-2) this Sunday at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee, at 12:00 p.m. CST.
While Tennessee leads the overall series 35-28, the Jaguars have owned the Titans as of late, winning seven of the last 10 meetings between the teams. However, division games are difficult to predict. The Titans' lone win this season came at the expense of a division rival, the Indianapolis Colts, and Tennessee has been competitive in every game they've played this season.
Currently, BetMGM has the spread listed at 11 points in favor of the Jaguars. Let's take a look at the three best player prop bets from this game, also courtesy of BetMGM.
Anytime touchdown scorer: RB Bayshul Tuten -125
The Titans have allowed 10 rushing touchdowns through eight games. Tuten
has four touchdowns on the season and is Jacksonville's primary running back. The Jaguars' projected advantage makes him an appealing candidate for this bet, and it's a stronger stance than simply estimating how many yards he'll have on the ground. Jacksonville will enter the red zone more than once on Sunday, and you can be sure that Tuten will be selected to punch it in at some point.
Rushing yards: RB Tony Pollard OVER 75 yards +200
Jacksonville is expected to control the tempo of this game, but if Tyjae Spears still can't play this week, the ground game will rely heavily on Pollard. Before the bye, Pollard was the only running back used against the Cincinnati Bengals, and he put up 117 yards on the ground, plus two touchdowns. The Jags' defense is one of the best in the league, so the Titans will need to lean on Pollard to move the chains.
Passing touchdowns: QB Trevor Lawrence OVER 2 TDs -190
Lawrence averages 2.3 touchdowns per game, and the Titans' depleted defense won't have an answer for him on Sunday. He spreads the ball around, so picking receiving yards or receiving touchdowns is difficult, but Lawrence will be throwing those passes. He has 18 touchdowns on the season, and eight receivers have caught at least one scoring pass from him. He's not going to slow down on Sunday, so expect him to find the end zone on more than one occasion.
