3. Titans running backs will combine for 250+ yards, 3 TDs

I know the offensive line has had a lot of issues both in the run game and the passing game, but they are facing one of the worst run defenses in the league.

The Chargers have given up 120 yards per game, good for 21st in the league. This could finally be the game where Derrick Henry has the explosion that he did last year in December. Same with Dion Lewis, who has been absolutely lackluster so far this season.

As previously mentioned, the Chargers are already missing two defensive linemen, and could be missing a key edge rusher, so I fully expect the Titans to maximize the amount of carries that they give to Henry and Lewis, as well as Dalyn Dawkins and Rod Smith if they are active as well.

250-plus yards and three touchdowns might seem like WAY too bold of a statement, but I truly believe that if the offensive line can get their act together, this could be a breakout game for the Titans’ running backs.
