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.
