This Sunday, the Jacksonville Jaguars will travel to Nashville to take on their AFC South rivals, the Tennessee Titans. While both teams are struggling this season, this rivalry has provided some great games over the years. With that in mind, here are five bold predictions for Sunday's game between the Jaguars and Titans.

The Jaguars' rookie wide receiver Marqise Lee was expected to make an immediate impact this season, but a hamstring injury has caused him to miss the past three games. Lee's status for Sunday's game is still up in the air, but if he can go, he offers big-play potential that the Jaguars' offense has been missing through the season's first five games.

The Titans' offensive line has allowed the fourth most sacks in the NFL with 14. They will be facing a Jaguars' defense that has 16 sacks on the season and will be looking to get after the quarterback early and often. After being called out by their head coach Ken Whisenhunt following Sunday's loss to the Cleveland Browns, the Titans' offensive line will step up their play.

Running back Toby Gerhart has not been the bell cow the Jaguars expected him to be. The Jaguars will likely use more of a running back-by-committee approach this week, but Gerhart should find plenty of running room against a Tennessee defense that is ranked 26th in the NFL in run defense.

Veteran quarterback Charlie Whitehurst has played the majority of snaps for the Titans over the past two weeks. It is still uncertain whether starter Jake Locker will be able to play on Sunday, but if he is healthy enough, he should last the entire game against the Jaguars.

It is apparent after last week's close loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers that the Jaguars are headed in the right direction. Meanwhile, the Titans are coming off a demoralizing 29-28 loss to the Browns in which they blew a 25-point lead. All signs point to the Jaguars claiming their first win of the season on Sunday.
