Final Analysis

Everyone had the Tennessee Titans winning the matchup by an average score of  21.6-12.4.

So we all look at this and see Tennessee as the team in the better position to win, which makes sense. Nearly everyone refereed to things like:

-The more aggressive offense vs the Atlanta Falcons

-Buffalo having a tough defense, but coming off of a loss last week

-The Titans defense being slightly better according to scoring and turnover differential.

-Optimism on Marcus Mariota’s ability to be safe with the ball.

With those key takeaways, it is important to realize that the average score came out out to just over a one-possesion game. So while we all agree that the Titans should win this game, there is a general lack of confidence in the team to truly beat down teams back to back.

This team desperately needs to show that they can win football games that they are supposed to and that they can string together wins as easily as they can string together losses.
