The down side to the last few weeks of the NFL season is there are some games between teams with nothing to play for except for pride and draft position. That's the case for Sunday's showdown in the AFC South between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans.

Thankfully, we can create our own meaning for these games by betting on them and I have a play for this matchup between two of the worst teams the NFL has to offer.

Titans vs. Jaguars Key Players to Watch

Tennessee Titans

Tyjae Spears: The Titans have started to give Tyjae Spears more snaps in recent weeks and he's taken full advantage. He score two touchdowns in Week 16 against the Colts and he's also proven to be a weapon in the passing game. He's one of the few bright spots to keep an eye on in the final two weeks.

Jacksonville Jaguars

Brian Thomas Jr.: The Jaguars' rookie receiver has seen double-digit targets in four straight games and has accumulated 19 receptions for 137 yards and three touchdowns in the Jaguars' last two games. He's the No. 1 player to watch in this game.

Titans vs. Jaguars Prediction and Pick

In this week's edition of the "Road to 272 Bets," I broke down why I'm backing the Titans despite their poor record this season:

I've bet on the Titans too much this season to stop now. While both teams are basement dwellers in the NFL in terms of record, only one of them is basement dwellers in terms of metrics and statistics. The Titans outrank them in EPA per Play and Success rate on both sides of the ball and they enter Week 17 at 20th in Net Yards per Play (-0.2) while the Jaguars are 28th at -0.7.

It's a true toilet bowl game, but I still have faith in the Titans no matter how many bets they've lost for me in 2024.

Pick: Titans -105
