💬 FormPicks Commentary
This is genuinely a coin flip between two struggling teams, but I'm giving the edge to Tennessee simply because they're at home. Both the Titans and Jets are poor travellers who live in tight finishes, both leak points on defence, and both struggled offensively last season. The Titans managed just 16.7 points a game and the Jets won only one road game all year, so neither outfit inspires confidence. The key thing to watch is whether Cam Ward and Geno Smith can generate enough scoring to matter in what could easily be a low-possession grind, because two leaky defences in a close game is the setup where one mistake kills you.

Full-game team stats from nflverse after each week. Blue marks the stronger side in each column - fewer giveaways, sacks allowed, penalty yards and points allowed count as better, and a lower defensive EPA per play means the defence gave less away.
