Key Factors

Favors Over

The Jaguars are a 6.5-point favorite in this week's game, likely leading to a rushing game script.
THE BLITZ projects Travis Etienne to accumulate 18.1 carries in this week's game, on average, ranking in the 95th percentile among RBs.
THE BLITZ projects Travis Etienne to be much more involved in his offense's running game this week (67.3% projected Carry Share) than he has been this year (54.6% in games he has played).
The Jacksonville Jaguars have gone up against a stacked the box on a measly 11.1% of their plays since the start of last season, 3rd-least in the league. Keeping an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
The Tennessee Titans have stacked the box vs. opponents on just 10.1% of their plays since the start of last season, least in football. Choosing not to bring an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves pass defense at the expense of run-stopping.

Favors Under

The Jacksonville Jaguars boast a new play-caller this season in head coach Doug Pederson, and THE BLITZ projects their pass/run mix to lean 2.7% more towards passing than it did last season (adjusted for context).
THE BLITZ projects the Jaguars to run the 11th-least plays on offense on the slate this week with 64.4 plays, given their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
The weather report calls for 2-mph wind in this game. Low wind generally means increased pass volume, increased touchdown potential, and better passing efficiency.
The Jacksonville Jaguars O-line grades out as the worst in the NFL this year at blocking for the run game.
The Tennessee Titans defensive ends grade out as the 7th-best collection of DEs in the league this year in regard to stopping the run.
