*Ah the Jags. Thank god they are becoming a little more predictable after their most un-Jaguaresque run that saw them take down the powerhouses of erm... Cleveland and Houston. Twice. Complicating matters is the fact that they also knocked off the Titans in Tennessee, however since then the Titans have looked somewhat more capable and have been unlucky to lose a number of very close games. I think the Jags will get back to their traditional losing ethos just in time for Christmas, given their inability to close out arguably an inferior team to the Titans (Buffalo) last week.

Tennessee @ Jacksonville (1pm)
**Matchup Difficulty: 66% **(the higher the score, the better the experts' success rate when picking these two teams. An 'average' matchup would be 62%)
Consensus: ** Tennessee **67%
Top 5 Overall: **Tennessee 60**%
**
Best Pick Index:**
**
Interestingly, this is one of the easier games to predict for experts based on their previous ability when picking the two teams. Of the top 17 experts on 85% or more, the consensus is around 65% in favor of Tennessee, with Brian Baldinger - picking these two teams at 91.7% this year - is picking the Titans. Verdict? Road win.**
