26CornerBlitz Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 Week 5 NFL score predictions: A guide to best games, more Titans (3-1) at Bills (1-3): 1 p.m. ET, CBS Point spread: TEN -3.5 | Matchup quality: 19.8 (of 100) Turron Davenport's pick: The Titans are in a groove offensively after Marcus Mariota exploded for almost 400 yards of total offense in Week 4. The wide receivers match up well against Buffalo's cornerbacks, and running back Dion Lewis should thrive catching passes out of the backfield. Defensive coordinator Dean Pees will dial up the interior gap blitzes and nickel blitzes to pressure Josh Allen into making careless throws. Titans 27, Bills 13 Mike Rodak's pick: The Bills' formula for fixing their 31st-ranked offense has been made clear all week: They want to run the ball more often on early downs and focus on quick, short throws when they decide to pass. The Titans have allowed the fourth-most yards per carry (5.04) on first and second downs this season, which might make Tennessee the perfect opponent to settle down a Josh Allen-led offense that turned the ball over three times and allowed seven sacks in a shutout loss last week. Bills 17, Titans 14 FPI win projection: TEN, 57 percent. The Bills followed up the best all-around game in terms of total efficiency (98.4) since 2006 with their league-leading third game with an overall efficiency below 10 in the shutout loss to the Packers. Tennessee could potentially seize control of the race for the AFC South with a road win, as the Jags have a tougher contest in Kansas City.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 Which 3-1 NFL teams are actually good and which ones are just lucky By Bill Connelly Mike Vrabel didn’t play for Jim Tressel at Ohio State; it only feels like he did. The Akron native and former Buckeye defensive end finished his career in Columbus a few years before Tressel’s arrival, but it appears he’s mastered Tresselball all the same. You could say the primary tenets of Tresselball were as follows: Limit big plays on defense Attack on third downs Win the red zone Don’t do anything stupid on offense Granted, that recipe isn’t copyrighted by the former OSU head coach, but he certainly mastered it. He won a lot of games in Columbus by running the ball, avoiding crippling mistakes, and playing sound, physical defense that got more sound and more physical the closer you got to the end zone. Vrabel, meanwhile, has won three of his first four games as the Tennessee Titans’ head coach by doing exactly the same thing. Tennessee is among the NFL’s best at preventing big plays. The Titans allow opponents to create only semi-manageable third downs, and then they shut you down. And if you are lucky enough to create a scoring opportunity, they play maybe the league’s best defense inside their own red zone. They have invested a lot in the cornerback position of late — they brought in Malcolm Butler and Logan Ryan as free agents and spent a high pick on Adoree’ Jackson in 2017 — and have thus far gotten their money’s worth. This is a damn good defense, one of the best in the league. The offense, on the other hand?

26CornerBlitz Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 Titans vs. Bills: 3 opposing players to watch in Week 5 By: Clint Brooks After a two-game stretch against the NFC North, the Buffalo Bills will return home to face the Tennessee Titans from the AFC South at New Era Field in Week 5. The 3-1 Titans are riding a three-game winning streak with back-to-back wins coming against the Jacksonville Jaguars and the defending Super Bowl champions Philadelphia Eagles. Tennessee’s roster is loaded with talent on both sides of the ball. So here are three players to watch on the Titans this Sunday: WR Corey Davis DT Jurrell Casey QB Marcus Mariota The Bills' OL better be ready. Titans cause major problems for Eagles' front five By Nick Shook Around The NFL Writer Carson Wentz was sacked four times in Week 4, but as is often the case, that number isn't quite a fair judgment of how Philadelphia's offensive line performed. Defensive tackles often don't get enough love for their impact on a game (unless their name is Aaron Donald). Sunday provided a great example of how the best can immediately affect an opponent. Early in Sunday's game, Tennessee's Jurrell Casey was being his usual problem-causing self. Philadelphia was executing each block nearly flawlessly, but Casey remained as the lone person interrupting the Philly flow up front. No surprise there. What was surprising, though, was how quickly Philadelphia adjusted -- and how it affected the rest of the game. A focus on giving as much help as possible to blockers facing man-on-man situations against Casey became rather apparent. Take this near-sack, in which center Jason Kelce helps right guard Brandon Brooks for a beat too long, leaving a rushing lane for linebacker Jayon Brown. Wentz is forced to unload the ball while being taken down for an incompletion.
