QB Issues a Major Factor For the Titans
The Tennessee Titans are 1-5 this season and lost their second straight game in Week 7, when they were defeated by the Buffalo Bills 34-10 in Orchard Park, NY. Tennessee started Mason Rudolph at quarterback in that game, as Will Levis continued to miss time due to his shoulder injury. This week, we will see which direction the Titans go at quarterback. But no direction has seemed to do much good for them, as they need to find a spark in the passing game to allow running back Tony Pollard more room to operate in the box on early downs.
Lions Look For Fifth Straight Victory
The Detroit Lions got one of the most impressive wins in Week 7 of the NFL season. They beat the previously-undefeated Minnesota Vikings on the road in a huge division matchup on Sunday, moving the Lions into first place in the NFC North. That was the fourth win in a row for Detroit, whose offense is moving the ball at will against their opponents of late. In this game, explosive offense would be great, but Jared Goff simply managing the game and avoiding the kinds of turnovers that would keep Tennessee competitive will be massive.
Titans vs Lions Betting Pick
Our top pick for Titans vs Lions is for the game to go over the total of 45.5 points. Tennessee’s last game against the Bills went over a total in the mid-40s despite Tennessee only managing to score 10 points. The Tennessee defense will once again struggle to keep the dam from breaking against an elite offense, while the Titans will do just enough to score the 14-20 points needed to push this one over the total from Ford Field.
