Tennessee is looking to build off their win against the Los Angeles Chargers last week.   Tennessee’s defense made a great goal-line stand to prevent the Chargers from scoring the game-winning touchdown.

Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill played great in his first start with Tenessee. The Titans have a great opportunity to grow from its win last week and make more improvements this week against Tampa Bay. I fully expect Tennessee to improve from last week’s game and apply them to this week’s game.

Tennessee has a great chance to shine on defense as well. Rookie Jeffery Simmons has a great chance to wreak havoc on Jameis Winston and an o-line that’s given up 25 sacks this season. I think despite mistakes made earlier in the season, that Tennessee will get its fourth win of the season. I believe the Titans offense will shine this week and score 24 points in the game.

Final score prediction: Tennessee 24, Tampa Bay 14.
