Tampa Bay Buccaneers -3, total 41.5
Spotlight on Rookie Quarterbacks
The Titans have Marcus Mariota at quarterback while the Bucs have Jameis Winston and the focus will be on both players on Sunday. Mariota played pretty well in the preseason while Winston struggled. Mariota completed 70% of his passes in the preseason and had a passer rating of 102.9. Winston finished the preseason with just a 48.9 percent completion rate and a 52.7 passer rating. He ran for two touchdowns and was intercepted twice. Neither team has a lot of weapons surrounding their rookie signal callers so each team will look to run the ball. The Titans have Bishop Sankey in the backfield while the Bucs have Doug Martin. Tampa has more receiving talent in Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans but in the preseason the offensive line play was so bad that Winston rarely had time to throw the ball.
Titans Add Running Back
The placed running back David Cobb, their fifth-round draft pick, on injured reserve and traded with the Cleveland Browns for Terrance West who was a third-round draft pick by the Browns in 2014 and led the team in rushing as a rookie with 673 yards. West will have some work to do to learn the Tennessee system but he could work into the rotation behind Sankey.
