Tennessee Titans @ Buffalo Bills preview

by Steve

For no explainable reason I smell a Bills drubbing of the Titans on Sunday. This team by no means is good. In fact they are a bad football team especially with the brutal number of injuries sustained. However, the Titans are at least as bad.

Tennessee has one good win this season over a Baltimore team coming off a heavy hangover after drubbing their hated rival the Steelers the week before. Matt Hasselbeck is basically an older Ryan Fitzpatrick. He is sorta good with limited ability in decline. He will have to depend heavily on Chris Johnson to pound the rock on the Bills porous defense.

Johnson after getting PAID big time has had an awful season. True he had a fluke game last week against a bad Bucs team that has mailed in the season but over all he has proven he isn't worth the cashe he got. Then again no running back is. Either way he'll get his 100 yards you can take that to the bank but that is no big win against the 21st ranked Bills rushing D. And the only reason the Bills are 21st is because the last 5+ games no team has even had to run the ball since they can do whatever the hell they want in the passing game.

The Bills defense is one of the worst in recent memory. They don't generate pressure, they can't get off the field on third down and they have given up the third most passing TDs in the league. The question then is obvious, why the hell do I like the Bills on Sunday?

Gut feeling. The Bills haven't played at the Ralph since 2003 seemingly (actually 11/6) and it is the last watchable (the game is blacked out so worth while?) game of the season. The fans (all 57,000) will show up in force and the team will still feel decently well about themselves after blowing the Jets game they should have won.

Also Tennessee doesn't do anything great and has few impact players on defense and they have no impact wide receivers. They have no one with more than 3 sacks. Damian Williams? Dave Ball? And Mike Munchak is a bit of a joke.

Bills 29 Titans 17
