How it plays out

Tennessee Titans vs Pittsburgh Steelers is a cross-division AFC test that could swing the conference picture. On paper this is about as lopsided as it gets: Pittsburgh Steelers at 73% to Tennessee Titans's 27%, spread PIT -3.5. The power-ranking gap backs it up (#31 vs #17), and the contender tiers agree.

Tactically, Tennessee Titans will want to lean on veteran WR to attack Pittsburgh Steelers, whose offensive line is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Pittsburgh Steelers's physical defense could punish Tennessee Titans if secondary goes unaddressed. Expect both staffs, Brian Callahan and Mike Tomlin, to script around exactly that battle.

Keep an eye on Cam Ward (QB) and DK Metcalf (WR): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. Titans get the home crowd, worth a few points of swing before kickoff.
