Jags are favored because the both teams are GARBAGE and the game is in Jax. This is a no play. Could be a Tenn rout, could be a Jax rout, could be a game decided by a FG either way.
If you are into line movement and public percentages, then the Jags are the play. If you are a square and look simply at the starting lineups, then the Titans are the play. I've seen a ton of posts with major units on the Titans. First of all, there isn't a play in the first few weeks that is worth more than a unit or two. What do you base this on??? If anyone bets either side, it should be a small play. If you bet one bets this one large and wins, they should thank their lucky star and don't do it again until week 4 or 5 when we actually know a little about the teams. Second, how can you make a claim for this game being a rout? Second, Matt Hasselbeck is 35 or so, does anyone really expect him to come out and light it up? I certainly don't.
