New York Jets vs Tennessee Titans Prediction
I’m leaning toward Tennessee. The Titans need to play a complete game here, though. Tennessee played a rough second half against the Bears in their opener loss, ending up with 244 total yards (104 passing), eight penalties, three turnovers, and a rough 3-of-14 rate on third-down tries. The defense held Chicago to just 148 total yards (64 passing), 11 first downs, and 2-of-13 on thirds, however. A Bears pick-six and TD on a blocked punt torpedoed their efforts.
As for the Jets, they looked outmatched from the first half and couldn’t stop San Francisco’s home push. New York’s defense allowed 401 total yards (221 passing), 25 first downs, and 6-of-13 on thirds. The offense was pretty tepid as well on two turnovers, 266 total yards (198 passing), and only 14 first downs. The Jets will probably post another relative road yawner here as well.
