The Jacksonville Jaguars can’t quite figure out why their home field has been anything but an advantage in 2023. All three losses for the 6-3 Jaguars came at EverBank Stadium, including blowout losses to the Houston Texans and San Francisco 49ers.
“We would’ve fixed it if we had a clean answer on it,” Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence said earlier this week. “I don’t want to say coincidence, but I don’t think there’s anything in there that we feel like, ‘Oh this is why we’re losing at home.’ I think for some reason, when we’re playing at home, we have not played great.”
That has to change and fast, because there’s no longer much margin for error in the AFC South. A Week 11 contest against the Tennessee Titans will either get the Jaguars back on track or it will sink the team into a stressful race for the division title.
Here’s what experts predict will happen Sunday when the Titans come to Duval:

Will Levis has completed 52.5% of his passes the last two weeks, and the Titans averaged 11 points per game in those losses. That won’t do on the road against the Jaguars, who are coming off a reality check against San Francisco. Jacksonville shakes that off ahead of next week’s huge AFC South matchup with Houston.
Pick: Jaguars 24, Titans 17
