Weve reached the halfway mark of the NFL season and Week 8 raises plenty of questions with make-or-break implications.Kicking things off on Thursday Night Football (Friday, 11:15am AEDT) are the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans. The Jaguars have not been great. Quarterback Blake Bortles has been well below his standard of play from last season and the offence hasnt been helped by the NFLs No. 30-ranked rushing attack.The Titans, while not that much better, have shown greater signs of life. Marcus Mariota has grown as the teams leader and DeMarco Murray continues to show he can run havoc on opposing defences, with the Titans averaging 143 yards on the ground.Despite both teams coming off losses in Week 7, they find themselves within a game and a half of the lead in what has surprisingly turned out to be a mediocre AFC South. A loss this week will likely end any talk of a division title.ESPN Pick: Titans at home, 23-17UBET Odds: Tennessee $1.53 Jacksonville $2.50Carolina Panthers have had a season to forget, and things wont get any easier this week as they face off against the Arizona Cardinals.
