It's true the Titans secondary is occupied by practice squad players, but 13.5 points is a lot. I'm not calling for an upset, but don't forget that this Jaguars team has lost to the Titans in a critical Week 18 spot before.
Cowboys (-3.5) at Giants: The Raiders understood the assignment in their Week 17 Tank Bowl loss against the Giants. This dumbass Giants team did not. The Giants are going to try to win this game too, but so will Dak Prescott, who has a chance to lead the NFL in passing yards.

Two win-or-go-home games. Two games to decide the AFC South champs. And a Seahawks-49ers game will determine the NFC's top seed. Nice.

Picking the Ravens over the Steelers is almost too easy. We also like the Seahawks over the 49ers and Bucs over Panthers in critical games.
Look for the Raiders to win the No. 1 overall pick by losing to the Giants, and for the Bucs and Panthers to set the stage for a Week 18 showdown to decide the NFC South.
