Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Tennessee Titans
Head to head
Preview
How it plays out
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Tennessee Titans is an inter-conference matchup: the NFC Buccaneers hosting the AFC Titans. On paper this is about as lopsided as it gets: Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 91% to Tennessee Titans's 9%, spread TB -7.5. The power-ranking gap backs it up (#11 vs #31), and the contender tiers agree.
Tactically, Tampa Bay Buccaneers will want to lean on veteran WR corps to attack Tennessee Titans, whose roster depth is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Tennessee Titans's disruptive DT could punish Tampa Bay Buccaneers if pass-rush depth goes unaddressed. Expect both staffs, Todd Bowles and Brian Callahan, to script around exactly that battle.
Keep an eye on Baker Mayfield (QB) and Cam Ward (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. Buccaneers get the home crowd, worth a few points of swing before kickoff.
