With the Tennessee Titans Week 14 matchup being against the Jacksonville Jaguars, this team has a chance to sweep their AFC South rival. Tennessee needs just two wins to clinch a playoff spot, and they can get one of those on Sunday. We take a look at this Titans-Jaguars game with some of our Titans Week 14 predictions in mind.
Tennessee has maintained relevance mainly because of their defense. The offense has turned the ball over more often than not and hasn't been able to score much the last few weeks. This team needs a boost in production and hopefully, the Titans defense can generate some turnovers on Sunday.
For more insight on the Titans' Week 14 matchup against the Jaguars, listen below:
The run game worked beautifully against the New England Patriots in Week 12. However, the offense couldn't do much else and ultimately lost the game. Even so, we should see the rushing attack on full display, as Dontrell Hilliard and D'Onta Foreman serve as a solid one-two punch. Additionally, this is a great matchup for Ryan Tannehill to get back on track. If everything goes smoothly, Tennessee should win this contest. With that said, here are four bold Titans Week 14 predictions for their game against the Jaguars.

Titans Wek 14 Predictions
4. Titans defense shuts down Trevor Lawrence
Trevor Lawrence hasn't quite been the generational talent many believed he would be. However, he's only in his rookie season and still adjusting to the professional level. Even so, this is a prime opportunity for the Titans to take care of the Jaguars. To do so, Tennessee needs to make Lawrence uncomfortable often.
The Titans pass rush has been phenomenal this year and that trend should continue on Sunday. Getting in Lawrence's face will force him to make bad throws, which can translate to interceptions or third-down stops. Look Tennessee's defense to be aggressive against Jacksonville.
3. Tennessee rushes for over 200 yards again
It's no secret the Titans utilize a run-first offense. Dontrell Hilliard and D'Onta Foreman were a solid tandem against the Patriots. Tennessee will need that type of production against the Jaguars, as it will allow them to run their offense and control the clock. Hopefully this time around, the running back duo don't fumble the ball and turn it over.
2. Ryan Tannehill erupts for 3 total touchdowns
It's been a minute since we've seen Ryan Tannehill take control of the Titans' offense. It's not entirely his fault though. The offensive line has been awful in pass protection while the receiving core is one of the worst in the league with AJ Brown and Julio Jones dealing with injuries. Even so, it sounds like Jones is returning which means the offense should open up a bit. Look for Tannehill to capitalize and connect with Julio Jones often.
1. Tennessee bounces back and earns a much-needed win
After going on an impressive win streak against former playoff teams, the Titans have lost their last two games. They've enjoyed some time off during a much-needed bye week but it's time to get back to business. Tennessee needs just two more wins to clinch a spot in the playoffs. The Jaguars are a terrible team this year, giving Tennessee a legitimate chance to earn a big win on Sunday.
For that to happen, everything needs to come together. The rushing attack needs to be on point like it was against the Patriots while the passing game shows improvement. Additionally, the defense needs to maintain consistency and force the Jaguars into bad situations. Look for the Titans to get back in the win column in Week 14.
