Jaguars vs. Titans: 5 bold predictions for winner-takes-all-game in Week 18

4. Jaguars RB Travis Etienne will get over 100 yards vs. the Titans

Derrick Henry is still the cream of the crop but the Jaguars also have a dynamic running back in Travis Etienne, who is close to becoming the third 1,200-yard rusher in team history.

Etienne showed his burst and premier speed against the Texans, toting the rock nine times for 108 yards and a touchdown. Although Tennessee did a good job of containing the former Clemson Tiger in Week 14, they won’t be able to stack up the box knowing Trevor Lawrence can feast on their secondary.

The appeal of crossing the 1,200-yard mark will incentivize Etienne to break off a few big runs and log over 100 yards in the finale.

3. Jaguars WRs Zay Jones and Christian Kirk will get 100 yards each

After a slow start to the 2022 season, wide receiver Zay Jones has the playmaker the Jags expected when they gave him a three-year contract worth $24 million in free agency. The former East Carolina Pirate has set career highs for yards in a season (802) and receptions (78).

But in spite of Jones’ recent ascension, Christian Kirk is still Jacksonville’s primary target on offense. The former Texans A&M product has logged a career-best 78 receptions and registered the first 1000-yard season of his career.

Given how much the Titans’ defense struggles against the pass, the Jaguars will likely try to target Kirk and Jones early and often, which should result in a 100-yard game for both.
