The Tennessee Titans have a veteran QB rotation for the preseason with Marcus Mariota and Blaine Gabbert. More important is the offensive philosphy, which has totally changed. New head coach Mike Vrabel brings in offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur, a rising star who loves to spread the field and attack. He was the Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator last season with QB Jared Goff and worked with Matt Ryan as Atlanta Falcons QB coach (2015-16). There are talented pieces all over this offense with second-year wideout Corey Davis, three-time Pro Bowl tight end Delanie Walker, and speedy newcomer RB Dion Lewis (Patriots). The 6-3 Davis had big games against the Rams and Pats and was the No. 5 overall pick in the 2017 draft. And the Titans have one of the best offensive lines in the game, anchored by two-time Pro Bowl left tackle Taylor Lewan. The offense is far ahead of the young defense that ranked #17 in points allowed, #25 against the pass. Last preseason they allowed 83 points in four games. They face a Green Bay offense with QBs Aaron Rodgers and Brett Hundley, as well as a new look, the return of offensive coordinator Joe Philbin. He held that same role from 2007 through 2011, as coach Mike McCarthy decided the time was right to overhaul the playbook and open things up. The offseason addition of five-time Pro Bowl tight end Jimmy Graham upgrades the attack. The defense, though, is the weak spot, ranking #23 against the pass, #26 in points allowed. The Packers are trying rookies Jaire Alexander and Josh Jackson at the problematic cornerback position. All of which means a game with far more offense than defense. Take this one to finish OVER the total.
