The Tennessee Titans host the Pittsburgh Steelers this afternoon on CBS at 1:00 EDT. Both teams are coming off big wins, so confidence for each team should be quite high. Both of these teams are proud franchises, that are very well coached. This specific contest should be a hard hitting ground affair, with defense likely ruling the day. The Titans are -5.5 home favorites tonight, with a total of 38 points expected.

Tennessee is very happy to start off 1-0 SU this year, after their horrible start to last season. Tennessee is a talented team flying under the radar a bit this year, as they are only a few years removed from being a dominant team. QB Vince Young and Offensive Player of the Year RB Chris Johnson still feel they are dominant, and they are out to prove to everyone that fact. Johnson rushed for 142 YDS last week against the Raiders, helping them ultimately win 38-13 SU. Coach Fisher is likely to have a great gameplan for the Steelers, as he's personally seen great success against the Steelers at home. Fisher will have to put the ball in Young's hands more often today, as the Steelers defense has only allowed 3 100 yard rushers since 2006. The Titans have a chance to get to 2-0 SU without having to face QB Ben Roethlisberger. The Titans really need to win this game SU because 3 of their next 4 contests are on the road. Tennessee is 3-7 ATS in their past 10 Week 2 games.  

The Titans are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games in September. The Over is 4-0 in their last 4 games after allowing less than 15 points in their previous game.

Pittsburgh had a huge win in Week 1, arguably the most important win of any team in the NFL. The Steelers have stated how important it was for them to start the season no worse than 2-2 SU during the suspension of QB Ben Roethlisberger. The first step has been completed, as they beat the the Falcons at home 15-9 SU as the listed underdog. RB Rashard Mendenhall had the game winning TD, as he broke a few tackles and rushed 50 YDS to the promise land. Coach Mike Tomlin is likely to feature the running game even more in Tennessee, as QB Dennis Dixon will be making a tough road start. Unfortunately for the Steelers, the Titans have bottled up the their rushing game, limiting them to 109 YDS over their past 48 rushing attempts. Pittsburgh has also found the going tough in Tennessee, winning only once in their 7 games played in Tennessee. The Steelers are on the road again next week at Tampa Bay before heading home to face the Ravens before their Week 5 bye.

Pittsburgh is 2-8-1 in their past 11 games played during Week 2 of the regular season.

The Steelers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games. The Over is 4-1 in their last 5 road games against a team with a winning home record.

Pregame.com projects the final score to be 20-13 in favor of the Tennessee Titans. The Under 38 points is the Total of the Day!
