Jaguars Can Seal AFC South With Win Over Titans in Week 18 Finale

Injuries on the interior line make Jeffery Simmons a central test for Jacksonville’s clinch bid.

Overview

  • A victory delivers the division and likely the AFC’s No. 3 seed; a loss leaves the door open for Houston if the Texans beat the Colts.
  • Kickoff is Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at EverBank Stadium on Fox, with Adam Amin and Drew Brees on the call.
  • BetMGM lists Jacksonville around -13 to -13.5 after seven straight wins behind an elite run defense; the Jaguars beat Tennessee 25-3 in November.
  • Right guard Patrick Mekari is out and center Robert Hainsey could return, sharpening focus on Titans DT Jeffery Simmons, who has 10 sacks.
  • Rookie QB Cam Ward has two-plus TD passes in four straight games and returner Chimere Dike leads the NFL in all-purpose yards, so Jacksonville is stressing a mistake-free performance.
