There has arguably not been a better start to a QB's career than what Marcus Mariota did in his first game. Mariota became the first NFL QB in modern history to toss 4 TD passes in the first half of his first game, and the Titans, winners of two games all of last year, won 42-14. This from a team that did not top the 28-point mark all of last year. They have now become a public team, with a Hall of Fame QB after just one game, and trust me, Mariota will struggle in some games this season, perhaps many games. The Titans are now over-valued, and after taking down one Heisman winner, the Heisman winning Mariota gets a shot at another in Johnny Manziel. Manziel made an immediate impact last week with a long TD pass, but the Jets defense was simply too much for the Browns, and things should be different here. The Titans are just 16-33-4 ATS in their last 53 games including 1-9-2 ATS vs. a losing team. Remember, the Browns were 6-3 to start last year before injuries crept up on them, and had a pair of 21-point wins vs. both Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. Go with the Browns in this one.
