If you played the Tennessee Titans last week in what appeared to be a pretty decent spot against the Indianapolis Colts, you surely came away disappointed as the Titans only managed 2 sacks and allowed 27 points.

Although they're coming off a disappointing performance, this is a good week to be back on the Titans.

Tennessee hosts Blake Bortles and the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night. As you probably know, Bortles has struggled mightily this year, tossing nine picks through six games, the third-most picks in the league. Bortles has also taken 15 sacks, the 10th-most in the league.

Over the past two games, Bortles has committed four turnovers -- three interceptions and one fumble -- to only two touchdowns. Each of the Jaguars past two opponents, the Oakland Raiders and Chicago Bears, neither imposing defenses, both finished inside the top-12 in the week they played the Jags.

Tennessee struggled to get much pressure on Andrew Luck last week, but on the season, the Titans defense ranks 3rd in sacks (20), 2nd in quarterback hits (45), and 7th in interceptions (6).

This game has a 44.5 over/under with the Titans set as a 3.5-point favorite, making Tennessee a great streaming option.
