I don't think anybody expected the Tennessee Titans to go unbeaten this season. However, the loss to the Jets last Sunday was troublesome. The Jets dominated the game. The Titans' defense couldn't get off the field, and the offense couldn't find any consistency until it was too late. Even though it was a bad performance, the Titans still maintain a three-game divisional lead.
Of course, on Thursday, the Titans play at Detroit on Thanksgiving. The Lions are clearly the worst team in the league with a woeful 0-11 record. However, I'm a little concerned about the Titans emotional state. After getting whipped by the Jets, they only have four days to prepare for the Lions. Plus, I don't see them being that motivated about having to play on a holiday against a lousy team.
However, they are the better team. So, I'm going to roll with them.
The pick: Tennessee 28 Detroit 21
Other picks: Indianapolis over Cleveland, Houston over Jacksonville, Dallas over Seattle, New York Jets over Denver, New England over Pittsburgh
Last week: 2-4 (.333), Overall: 45-26 (.634)
