Tennessee Titans predictions vs. Jacksonville Jaguars: Our 6 experts pick Week 18 NFL winner
The Tennessee Titans conclude the season with Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Nissan Stadium.
Tennessee is coming off a rough Week 17 loss at Houston. Ryan Tannehill will start for the injured Will Levis (foot) for the second time in three games.
Jacksonville has uncertainty at quarterback, with Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) designated as questionable after missing last week's win over Carolina. C.J. Beathard, the Franklin native and BGA alum, will start if Lawrence cannot.
The Titans and Jaguars played in Jacksonville in Week 11, a 35-14 Jaguars win.
Here's how the Tennessean's experts pick Sunday's game:

Titans vs. Jaguars predictions
Nick Suss, Titans beat reporter
Jaguars 23, Titans 13 (from Thursday)
This feels like the kind of game that'll be close for three quarters, but the Jaguars will be able to pull away late. This Titans season ends with another hard-fought loss that makes fans consider how things could have been different if the full roster were available, but it will be a loss nonetheless.
Gentry Estes, columnist
Jaguars 17, Titans 10
As much as the Titans might want to send the Tannehill/Henry tandem out right, there’s too much on the line for Jacksonville.
Paul Skrbina, sports reporter
Jaguars 21, Titans 10
Losing freaking sucks, or something like that. The Titans have one more loss in them, though. Jaguars will begin their AFC South title party at Nissan Stadium.
Mike Organ, sports reporter
Jaguars 20, Titans 10
Titans limp to the finish line by putting an explanation mark o their last-place finish in the AFC South. Another poor performance, especially by the pathetic offensive line, makes it easier for Derrick Henry and Ryan Tannehill to say farewell to the Titans.
Nick Gray, trending sports reporter
Jaguars 27, Titans 17
The Jaguars seem very beatable right now, especially if Trevor Lawrence does not play. But the issue with picking the Titans to win is assuming the Titans offensive line can block Josh Allen and Travon Walker off the edge with some success. I won't make such an assumption.
Tom Kreager, Tennessee high school sports editor
Jaguars 35, Titans 14
The season can't end soon enough. Now here is the only question: Is this the last time we see Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry in a Titans uniform?
