Tonight, Thursday Night Football continues with a Week 11 match-up between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans. Though both of these teams are non-playoff contenders, this game should be an even matched slugfest between to young up and coming teams. It's difficult for me to decide who will be a winner tonight but if I had to choose I'd side with the Jaguars who seem to have a bit of resolve in their blood. Nevertheless, kickoff for the match up is 8:25 p.m. E.T live from Jacksonville. Be sure to tune in only on NFL Network.

Tennessee figured they'd upset the Panthers in Week 10 after defeating the Saints a week prior. Well reality set in that they aren't prepared to play championship football just yet. After firing Ken Whisenhunt for irrational reasons, the Titans come into tonight trying to prove themselves as an upcoming team in the AFC. They haven't been to the post-season in over a decade but with the selection of rookie QB Marcus Mariota, things may get better. I expect the Jaguars to keep the Titans offense at bay tonight though. The Titans inability to run the football will play as a hindering factor on the road this evening.

Blake Bortles and the Jacksonville Jaguars escaped Baltimore with a victory thanks to a bonehead play by Ravens OLB Elvis Dumervil who face masked Bortles as time expired giving the Jags an extra play and what was game clinching field goal range. The Jags have been very competitive this season. No team has been able to march over them despite their unimpressive 3-6 record. Tonight I expect the Jaguars to ignite the home crowd in this AFC battle as they look to stay in contention for the AFC South wild card position.
