Result: Win
This is an 8* play on the Tennessee Titans.
Setting the scene: The Titans look to bounce back off a frustrating 25-16 opening home loss to the Vikings, while the Lions looked poised for a classic letdown after their thrilling 39-35 win over the Colts on the road.
Tennessee: The Titans' offense struggled a bit last week, but that's more to do with the Vikes defense. Minnesota has an elite unit and it stepped up big in the opener. With that awkward game out of the way, we think Marcus Mariota will have plenty of opportunity for a bigger output today against the Lions vanilla unit. Note though that Mariota did throw for 271 yards on 25 of 41 passing with two TD's. The run game struggled, finishing with just 64 yards, but DeMarco Murray should also be able to exploit this porous Detroit front.
Detroit: QB Matt Stafford finished 31 of 39 for 340 yards, three TD's and no INT's. We think he'll have a much harder time this week though, as the Colts have major issues in their secondary. So while the offense looked great against a pathetic defense, as mentioned above, the Lions' real issues lie on the defensive side of the ball.
The bottom line: We're not overreacting to eiher team's Week 1 results. We think this one is going to be a battle until the end as the visitors desperately try to avoid the 0-2 hole and take this one down to the wire. Play on the TITANS.
