Titans look to polish off Brett Favre and the Jets heading into Thanksgiving

After a challenging two-game road trip, the Titans return home to play the New York Jets before heading to Detroit to play the Lions on Thanksgiving Day.

At this point, it is all about piling up wins to clinch home-field advantage for the playoffs. LP Field is one of the toughest places to play for visiting teams, so locking up home games for the playoffs is essential.

The Jets are coming off a 34-31 overtime win over the New England Patriots to improve to 7-3. The Jets now lead the AFC East, and this week's game could be a playoff preview. Of course, much of the attention with them centers on quarterback Brett Favre. Favre has had a good year though his statistics have been up and down. Some games he has been on fire as when he threw six touchdowns against the Cardinals. Other games, he has been fairly quiet.

At home, it's tough to go against the Titans. So I won't.

The pick: Tennessee 24 New York 21

Other picks: New Orleans over Green Bay, San Diego over Indianapolis, Jacksonville over Minnesota, Tampa Bay over Detroit, Chicago over St. Louis

Last week: 6-0 (1.000), Overall: 43-22 (.662)

Don't know why but I have a feeling that Sunday might be loss #1 for the Titans. Tennessee's due for a game in which they turn the ball over four times and play like their feet are stuck in the mud.

Jets 34 Titans 13. Django hit it right on the head. The Titans played like they were a step behind the Jets all game long.
