Point Spread: Could Be Worse, Titans Fans, It Could be 0-10 After Sunday

The Tennessee Titans are a big underdog in Jacksonville on Sunday, the largest point spread of the year. It's nothing new, since the Titans have only been favored to win once all year — and then lost at Indianapolis. How bad would an 0-10 record feel? Here's the latest on the point spread, plus a great history of both teams against the spread.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — For the ninth time in 10 games, the Tennessee Titans are an underdog on Sunday when they take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Sunshine State, their second straight game in the state of Florida.

The lack of national respect from oddsmakers for the Titans is a little startling, and this trend of being expected to lose continues. And what's funny, in the one game the Titans have been favored in this season — at Indianapolis in early October — they lost.

If you think 3-6 is bad, can you imagine how ugly this would be on Sunday night if the Titans were 0-10? 

This Sunday, the 6-3 and AFC South-leading Jaguars are favored by 6.5 points over Tennessee, and the over/under is 39.5, according to the SISportsbook.com gambling website.  That's the largest point spread in a Titans game all season. 

Here's what the Titans have done vs. the spread so far this season:

This is a another week where it's hard to see the Titans coming out on top. When Jacksonville is favored in games, they are 4-1 straight up and 4-1 against the spread, with that loss to Houston at home the only outlier.

This is also the second straight week that the Titans are facing a refocused team coming off of a bad loss. Last week, the Bucs were embarrassed after giving up 38 points to Houston, and their proud defense came at Will Levis and the Titans hard, allowing just six points.

It's very possible we could see more of the same on Sunday after Jacksonville allowed 34 points and home to San Francisco. They aren't going to want the same thing to happen again. Look for an inspiring performance from the Jaguars today, especially against that Tennessee offensive line that's really struggling.
