Tennessee Titans (3-2) vs Buffalo Bills (4-1)

The Bills have had a fantastic start to the season but taking on any team on the road during primetime and laying points is never easy. The Titans have their fair share of issues, but I like their ability to run the football with Derrick Henry and company, especially as the home dog. The Titans are averaging almost 5.0 yards per attempt this season, and although the Bills have been fierce against the run, Buffalo has not faced a rushing attack nearly as strong as the Titans. In fact, outside of the Chiefs (who did manage 5.2 yards per carry against the Bills), Buffalo has faced four teams in the bottom 14 in the league in rushing yards per game. That includes the dead-last Dolphins, fourth-worst Steelers, and seventh-worst Texans. Now, taking on the #2 rushing team in the NFL, I expect the Bills to struggle to stop Henry. A solid ground game opens up the passing game, and for that reason, I think we see the Titans produce offensively tonight. The Titans absolutely dominated the Bills last season in a 42-16 win and I think they will certainly be competitive tonight in what should be a great game to watch. I will take the points with Tennessee.
