A Titans\/Jaguar matchup hasn\u2019t been this meaningful in years. Now that Peyton Manning is out indefinitely and the Colts are seriously weakened, the AFC South is up for grabs. The Titans and Jags have gone from also-rans to division contenders overnight. <\/p>\n
NFL Week 1: Titans vs. Jaguars<\/strong> Their Week-1 meeting should be a spirited affair.<\/p>\n Let the Jake Locker era begin. Well, not really. The Titans did say goodbye to Vince Young (and coach Jeff Fisher) this offseason, and they did draft Locker, but the starting quarterback reins belong to veteran signee Matt Hasselbeck for now.<\/p>\n While Hasselbeck doesn\u2019t have an elite offense in front of him, he probably has his best group of targets since the Seahawks\u2019 heyday. No one questions wideout Kenny Britt\u2019s talent; tight end Jared Cook is expected to have a Jermichael Finley-like role; and Chris Johnson still excels as a pass catcher. Johnson looks like he\u2019s in for a full workload in the backfield despite his offseason holdout.<\/p>\n The Jags are in disarray after a wild week that saw stellar backup Rashad Jennings suffer a season-ending injury and starting quarterback David Garrard get released. Will they pick up the pieces in time to win at home on Sunday?<\/p>\n At least Maurice Jones-Drew seems primed for a big game. The human bowling ball reportedly lost a significant amount of weight this offseason, meaning he\u2019ll be more explosive and have less stress on his joints. Luke McCown steps in to replace David Garrard and at least isn\u2019t afraid to take shots downfield. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n This should be a close game \u2013 but I think the Jaguars\u2019 pass rush will sink them. They can\u2019t get to the quarterback. They finished 32 and 30th<\/sup> in the NFL in sacks over the last two years. Hasselbeck is washed up but he\u2019s still good enough and smart enough to make big plays if he has all day to throw \u2013 and he will.<\/p>\n The Titans are no defensive dynamos but McCown may be too raw and reckless to hurt them; he also lacks the downfield target to match his skills.<\/p>\n Look for Tennessee to ride capitalize on the Jags\u2019 weak \u201cD\u201d and do enough to win on Sunday.<\/p>\n Under is 8-2 in TEN last 10 vs. AFC South.
