Tennessee Titans (2-1) at New York Jets (0-3)

Sunday, October 3, 1PM PT

As was expected to be the case in 2021, the New York Jets have been bad. But not just bad — they’ve been downright awful. Zach Wilson doesn’t have help or blocking, and it’s leading the rookie to make far too many mistakes. That won’t change in Week 4.

This Tennessee Titans defense isn’t elite, but it’s more than capable of keeping Wilson uncomfortable. They have the talent both up front and in the secondary to force the young gunslinger into yet another miserable performance, which is likely to be the outcome when Titans come to town on Sunday.

Chances are we’ll see plenty of Derrick Henry as the Titans look to burn the clock and wear down the New York defense. The reigning rushing champion is already having a sensational season and will continue racking up huge chunks of yards in Week 4.

The Titans can’t completely fall asleep in this one, but this shouldn’t be too stressful of a battle for them. As for the Jets, I’m sure they’ll just be hoping to escape this game without embarrassing themselves too much.

Prediction: Titans win 28-9 | Spread: Titans (-7.5)
