Jets vs Titans Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this season looking for more success than they had in 2025, so this is a huge game to start the year. Tennessee has plenty of potential with Cam Ward at quarterback, but the team around him is very average. New York is hoping Geno Smith is the answer at quarterback, as they haven’t had a legit QB in years. I don’t think we will see many points in this game, as week one is already hard for the offenses to get going + each offense has a bunch of question marks. Take the under here.
