Giants vs Titans Prediction
Tennessee comes into this matchup looking for their first win of the year, but they played well against Philly last week and nearly got the win. The Titans should continue to improve as the season goes on, but the defense needs to force more turnovers. New York was blown out on Monday night and they will be without Dart here. The Giants had high expectations coming into this season, but the injuries are already piling up. I think this is a great chance for the Titans to win, so I will gladly take the points on the road.
