The Tennessee Titans are 0-2 this year after they lost to the Jets by a score of 24-17 in their last game. Tennessee led 10-7 at the half and they were tied at 17 in the third quarter, but they couldn’t find any points in the fourth in the loss. The Titans outgained New York by a total of 300-265, lost the turnover battle 2-0, and went 5-12 on third down in the loss.

Will Levis has completed 63.3% of his passes for 319 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions, while Calvin Ridley has caught seven passes for 127 yards and one score. 

Green Bay Packers Betting Preview

The Green Bay Packers are 1-1 this season after they defeated the Colts by a score of 16-10 in their last game. Green Bay led 13-0 in the third quarter and they were able to hang on for the win in the fourth.

The Packers have gone 46.4% on third down and 1-1 on fourth down through two games. Jordan Love is expected to be out for this game, so the Packers will most likely start Malik Willis, which means a big emphasis on the ground game.

Tennessee Titans vs Green Bay Packers Prediction 

Green Bay comes into this game after picking up a much-needed win at home against the Colts, but it will be difficult to win another game if Love isn’t healthy. The Packers were able to generate enough of a rushing attack last week to win, but that is very hard to sustain in today’s NFL. Tennessee is looking for their first win of the season, but they need Will Levis to protect the football. The Titans did play better in week two, but I don’t think I am ready to lay a field goal with them quite yet. Give me the Packers and the points.
