The Green Bay Packers (1-1) will attempt to keep the Tennessee Titans (0-2) winless when they battle on Sunday, September 22, at 1:00 PM ET at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee. The Titans are slightly favored to get their first win, with a point spread at -3.0 (-105).
The Packers landed their first win of the season in their most recent battle, which was a 16-10 outing against the Indianapolis Colts. They jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter that held into the half but would later inch ahead to finish the job.
Malik Willis got the start at quarterback since Jordan Love is out and will also likely be out again in this upcoming battle. Willis missed two passes out of 14 and had 122 yards with a touchdown. The running game was aggressive, as Josh Jacobs had 32 carries for 151 yards.
The Packers had similar stats for total yards and first downs as the Colts. But the key difference here was that they had possession of the ball for about 40 minutes, and they forced the Colts to have three turnovers.
Their offense has been appealing at 22.5 points a game and ranks 13th. On the defensive end, they are allowing teams to average 22.0 and rank 17th. At this rate, they do not have much breathing room.
The Titans have a similar vibe to another losing season like last year, but things still have an opportunity to turn around. In their latest battle, they fell short 24-17 to the New York Jets.
They had opportunities to win, but turnovers cost them the game. Will Levis completed 19 of 28 passes, had 192 yards, a touchdown, and a bad interception. Tony Pollard rushed 17 times for 62 yards to add some depth to the run game.
The Titans had more total yards and first downs than the Jets. But you cannot allow Aaron Rodgers more time with the football and turn it over twice and expect to be on the winning side.
Their offense has put up 17 points and given up 24 points in both losses. This will need to drastically shift in their favor if they want to land their first win of the season.
