TNF Discussion

[VirginiaCavs]

Anyone playing tonight? Thinking Jax tt under 17. does 17.5 exist anywhere? The O just has so many problems. Kessler, banged-up o-line, receivers who drop everything. Fournette just gonna be grinding first downs here and there his numbers vs Tits are poor. Titans have a good D and do well vs Jax (maybe they stole Jax playbook like in 99!)

First thoughts of course under but plz talk me off jags

Do you actually want me to talk you off Jags or is that like just an expression?

 

[Coolslaw1]

Everyone said Indy would crush them last week.:angrymob:..I'm staying away.

 

[Johnnyonthespot]

John Parry, head linesman 20 games to the over.

Looking for reasons to jump on Jags myself

Colts on the road also almost lost to Oakland (28-28 after 3Q) and it was kind of up in the air how Jax would respond. Many thought they'd be tanking but I think the benching of Blake Bortles re-energized the team. Jax hates the Titans, I think the D will show up again. Its the offense that has serious issues though

I couldn't bet Cody Kessler with your money...let alone mine.

Football Outsiders has Tenny -2.5

The defense. The ability of the secondary (Jalen) to force turnovers. It should be a very low scoring game and its 5 points.

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Don't. It's not like he does anything. He's just a game manager. I'd rather stay away tho cause the best Jax receiver is freaking DeDe Westbrook and and the o-line is banged-up.

Ya I think the spread is too high cause of how bad Jax's season been. The last two games between the two teams have had combined eight-point margin of victory (15-10 Week 17 last year and 9-6 this year, both in favor of the Shits)

 

[Johnnyonthespot]

I think Cody is competent. People remember last week and 6 points, but he didnt lose game. I sorta trust him in a pro mindset Colt Mccoy type of way. I think Mariotta is quite overrated

Cody doesn't thrrow picks like Bortles does, that's all Jax needs in a quarterback. A Trent Dilfer type. He fits the O better than Blake does.
Mariota is perpetutally overrated but I worry about his mobility. Look at how much Josh Allen and Dak ran for against Jax. Mariota has legs as well. The linebackers aren't as smart with Paul Posluszny retired

 

[Johnnyonthespot]

Calais, Parnell and Jalen active

Most of Titans healthy, outside Derick Morgan

Parnell is underrated, Fournette runs better with him in. Obviously Calais and Jalen are crucial too, Corey Davis is Tit's only good receiver and he's really more inconsistent than anything

 

[Ryno14]

Wasn't to imply that I'm betting the Titans either. Just meant that I try really hard to not bet bad QBs in the NFL these days.

Well what if two bad QB's face off?

 

[Johnnyonthespot]

Tenn 26th o and Jax 28th

Jax 5th D, Tenn 20th

That's what I like to call a stay away. What's the status of the 3 OL that missed last week for Jax?

Cam Norwell and Linder are out for the season,s ame with back up tackle Wells, but Parnell is active

Backup

 

[Johnnyonthespot]

Coaching slight edge to Vrabel I guess, takes more risks

Doug Marrone name says it all

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Getting Marrone was like buying one good year and selling some years afterwards until he's gone again

 

[Johnnyonthespot]

Jax 1-4 road
Titans 4-1 home

pt differential virtually the same

I dont think either are making postseason

 

[Johnnyonthespot]

Titans beat Jax away week 3, 9-6

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Jax beat Giants in a nailbiter, got blown out in KC and Dallas, gave one away in Buffalo, got blown out first half in Indy, came back, and dip shit fumbled it in Indy 20 yard line to end the game

 

[Johnnyonthespot]

I take that back. Titans could win next 3 and get in playoffs and play for all the marbles vs colts last week

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Hopefully Jax ruins their season again like in 2016

 

[Johnnyonthespot]

Jaxonville certainly has not quit. Maybe Titans tt u?

 

[Ryno14]

Ouch... I was at that game.. don't you wish that evil on me.. However, I think it's certainly possible that Titans could win out and still not make the playoffs.

game time temps in the 30's

 

[D-Woww]

classic case of a game that you wouldn't touch with a 20 foot pole if it were being played on sunday.

of course we are degenerates, so I threw some change on a parlay of titans moneyline/chargers moneyline/open spot

 

[KJ]

That this game has its own discussion thread is exactly why Thursday Night Football sucks

Bring back MACtion!

 

[KTR99]

Best side may be under 18.5 in the 1st half.

Tn is a horribly slow starting team. Could easily see a 7-7 / 10-3 type start.

 

[Johnnyonthespot]

How many degrees different from my post are we talking?

ha. didn't see your 40's

Anyone have anything on Jax in the cold? TB was famously bad under 40 for many years.

 

[jedi ninja]

At least one?

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Just looking at box scores of previous November and December road games. Jax usually starts out slowly in the cold, in 1Q often shut out, a maybe a field goal, couple fist quarters with touchdown.

 

[KTR99]

it was 66 degrees yesterday in Jax when they left for TN.
it won't be the coldest game for Jax but maybe it will slow down the offense on the short week.

 

[KJ]

Bold prediction: Tennessee 17-Jax 12

9 field goals and a safety

So you like the o 3.5 field goals prop?

 

[Ryno14]

If you want to bet on Doug Marrone and Cody Kessler on the road on a short week, good luck to you. You're a braver man than I.

Take the under and root for the clock operator

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Just wondering with the under bet if there's some extra advantage somewhere -- either in TT or quarter/half

 

[KJ]

Why not a quarter chase if sold on under?

Mariota throws a pick six then we're screwed

Not chasing. At all.

You think the game goes under, clearly you think a quarter will

Yeah but a fluke score can happen to cause a quarter to go over, over the course of the game I think the scoring stays low.
