Music City Miracles
The Tennessee Titans continue their November homestand this week against the Seattle Seahawks. They opened as a 12.5-point underdog over at FanDuel Sportsbook. That number isn’t big enough. The Seahawks come into this game averaging 29.4 points per game. That is second in the NFL. The Titans average just 14.3 points per game. That’s 32nd.
Seattle is also really good on defense, giving up just 19.3 points per game. That is sixth in the league. The Titans have faced a brutal schedule when it comes to opposing defense. Of the top 10 teams in the league in scoring defense, the Titans have already faced four of them. They have faced two of those teams, the Houston Texans (#1) and the Indianapolis Colts (#9), twice already. Now, some of the success those teams have had is because they have faced the Titans, but that’s still a pretty brutal run with a rookie quarterback.
The only way the Titans are going to win this game is if they can get pressure on Sam Darnold and turn him back into the Darnold that played for the New York Jets. The Los Angeles Rams were able to do that yesterday, forcing Darnold to throw four picks.
