NFL Week 3 Thursday Night Betting Preview

Thursday Night Football delivers an AFC South matchup in Week 3 as the Tennessee Titans visit the Jacksonville Jaguars.

At Bovada Sportsbook, the Titans are a slim 2-point road favorite.

Tennessee followed up its surprising Week 1 upset of the Cleveland Browns with a dud last week, falling to the Indianapolis Colts 19-17 as a 3-point favorite. The Titans are 2-2 straight up and 1-3 against the spread in their last four games, and have been a rotten pick for bettors for a while at 3-6 ATS in their last nine.

Jaguars a dismal 2-12 SU in last 14 games

As a road favorite, the Titans are only 5-4 SU and 3-6 ATS in their last nine games. They’ve also been a terrible bet against their division on the road. In their last 15 road games against AFC South opponents, the Titans are 3-12 ATS.

Jacksonville dropped to 0-2 on the season last week after losing to the Houston Texans 13-12. However, they did deliver for bettors as a 7-point underdog. Even with the ATS win, Jacksonville’s record for bettors over the last few seasons is one of the worst in the league. In their last 14 games, the Jaguars are 2-12 SU and 3-9-2 ATS. That includes going 1-5 SU and 2-4 ATS in their last six.

Jacksonville is a surprising 5-2 ATS in its last seven games in September. As a home underdog, the Jags are 3-3 SU and 3-2-1 ATS in their last six.

Titans have gone OVER in last 8 under the lights

Last season the Titans took both games against the Jaguars SU and ATS. Overall Tennessee has won four straight against Jacksonville SU and ATS, and the Titans are 6-1 SU and 5-1-1- ATS in their last seven matchups.

In Jacksonville, the Titans have won their last two games SU and ATS, but in their last eight, they’re 3-5 SU and 2-5-1 ATS.

For totals bettors, the Titans are 7-3 UNDER in their last 10 games against divisional opponents, but they’re 8-0 OVER in their last eight night games. The Jaguars are 4-1 UNDER in their last five at home, and they’re 6-2 UNDER in their last eight vs divisional opponents. In the last nine matchups between the Jaguars and Titans in Jacksonville, the UNDER is 7-2.
