ROGERS' 10* THURSDAY NIGHT TOTAL OF THE WEEK (INSANE 80% NFL START!)
(NFL) Tennessee vs. Jacksonville,
Total: 38.50 | -110.00 Under
Result: Loss
The set-up: Not known for their offensive explosiveness for the most part, I do in fact believe that this game's total will fly over the number sooner, rather than later. Neither team has the luxury to take the foot off the gas tonight and just hope things work out. The Titans are 1-1, while the Jaguars are 0-2. Jacksonville came "oh so close" to an upset in Houston last Sunday, but it wasn't enough. While both of these team's games vs. each other went "under" the number last year, I believe the overall conditions that each side finds itself in will finally lend itself to more of a high-scoring shootout.

The pick: Indeed, despite both game's totals going under the number last year, five of the last seven between these clubs have gone over the number. Tennessee looked great in its Week 1 demolition of the Browns, but then it had a letdown in last week's 19-17 loss to the Colts. RB Derrick Henry ate up the Jags last year and he had 81 yards and a TD in last week's defeat as well. Jacksonville is banged up across the board, but rookie QB Gardner Minshew isn't going to be lacking for motivation either. When you add up all of the above factors, this number is low in my opinion.
