1. The Offensive Line Will Give Up Two or Less Sacks
The Titans are averaging almost five sacks allowed per game this season, which is just abysmal.
However, they are facing a defense that has only gotten to the quarterback 12 times as a team, tied for the ninth-least in the league. With tackles Justin Jones (shoulder) and Brandon Mebane (knee) listed as “out” for Sunday’s game, and Melvin Ingram (hamstring) listed as “doubtful”, the Titans offensive line may not have as much to worry about, although Joey Bosa will still be an issue.
Ryan Tannehill is going to have to get rid of the football much quicker than Marcus Mariota had previously, but it is very possible that the Titans will not give up sacks the way they have the entire season, save for the Falcons game.
I also expect them to lean more heavily on the run game, which will limit the amount of times Tannehill will be sacked or take hits, but overall, I like the Titans’ offensive line’s chances against this weakened Chargers front seven.
