The Jaguars won the first game of the season series, 25-3 over the Titans on Nov. 30 in Nashville.

Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville offense are just firing too efficiently right now. Cam Ward is going to make a few plays, enough to keep Titans fans optimistic heading into 2026. But the Titans are going to stall at three wins for the second consecutive year.
