Tennessee Titans (0-1) at Seattle Seahawks (1-0)

Sunday, September 19, 4:25PM ET

I had very high hopes for the Tennessee Titans this season. Honestly, I still do. However, after Week 1’s effort, I’m thinking it’s going to take some time for their offense to start clicking. It’s clear chemistry issues and pass blocking are going to hurt them early during the 2021 campaign.

It won’t get much easier against the Seahawks, who are coming off an impressive Week 1 performance. Russell Wilson was cooking, Chris Carson was doing work on the ground, and the Seattle defense was making plays when it mattered. They’re more than capable of shutting down Ryan Tannehill and Co. as well.

The important part for me, though, is Wilson vs. the Tennessee defense. They struggled mightily against Murray, who is a very similar quarterback to Wilson. Don’t be surprised if we see another big game from No. 3 as he looks to yet again earn his first MVP award (or vote, for that matter).

This one will be interesting if the Titans can get going on offense, but I don’t see that happening for them just yet. There are another 16 games to go this season, so don’t count out Tennessee yet, even if they fall to 0-2 in Week 2.

Prediction: Seahawks win 30-21
