The Disapponitment Bowl will take place this Sunday at 1:00pm ET at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan. While not much was expected of the Lions this year, they have failed to live up to even the worst of prognostications. Jacksonville, however, is the bigger disenchantment considering the hype they generated in the off-season.
NFL Picks at Sportsbook.com are favoring the Jaguars -6.5 on the road.
Jacksonville finds themselves at 3-5 at the halfway point of the season. Their prospects of winning the AFC South are somewhere between zero and one percent given the Titans start, so, at this point, they are vying for a wildcard spot.
The Jaguars will need to change a number of things if they are to have a chance at post-season play. Namely, they will need to boost their 20 point per game average while lowering their 21.5 points per game allowed.
Detroit, the NFL's last winless club, doesn't have much to play for at this point; however, they did show some pride in their effort against the Bears last week. If they can continue to play hard, Head Coach Rod Marinelli might save his job, but even that is no guarantee.
NFL Picks Trend: The Over is 7-2-1 in Jacksonville's last 10 games as a road favorite in the month of November.
