Tennessee at New Orleans

Tennessee started 7-3 last year before injuries wore them down. The offense will be fine with veteran QB Ryan Tannehill, power back Derrick Henry, and new WR DeAndre Hopkins. Coach Mike Vrabel gets the most out of his defense, one that was No. 1 against the run in 2022 and third on third down (34.22%). The Titans are 62-38 ATS in non-conference action. New Orleans is favored but comes off a 7-10 campaign, including a losing record at home. They overpaid ($100 million guaranteed) for good but not great QB Derek Carr, who comes off back-to-back years of 23 TDs/14 picks and 24 TDs/14 interceptions. The defense lost some key players on the line and this 'D' was 23rd against the run in 2022 and 23rd on third down (41.63%). Play Tennessee.
