TN fans seem focused on the Jags OL but the real tale of this game is the Jag's defense which is better than the Raiders defense.  And while you managed 350 yards against them, let's face it, a good chunk of that was during garbage time.  Mariota is a good running QB but not a great pocket passer.  While you may slow down the Jags running game, you're passing game will have a tough go against the Jags DBs.  Jags have the intangibles too coming back home after the events over the weekend with TN having to travel back from the west coast after getting trashed by the Raiders.  This game has the potential to be a blowout but I think TN is good enough to keep it within 10 points or so.
