Chris’ Pick
I’m on the Titans here. I think Tennessee just had a rough showing in week one, but it’s important to remember that when this team was healthy like they are now, at one point last year they were 7-3. Tennessee for me is the better team from a talent perspective, but I think the value here is on Tennessee with the points as Mike Vrabel has been a coaching master in the underdog role and I think the Titans bring back their road warrior persona here. Give me Tennessee and the points.
