Tennessee Titans Coach Jeff Fisher yanked quarterback Vince Young from the lineup after he threw two interceptions and lost a fumble. Young only managed 66 yards on seven of 10 passing. Young’s backup Kerry Collins came in and led the Titans to a touchdown drive but the Steelers intercepted a pass and recovered a Collins fumble as well.

In Week Three, Vince Young will be back under center against the Giants. He’ll need some help from running back Chris Johnson this week. The Steelers ended Johnson’s streak of 12 straight games of 100+ rushing yards. He managed just 34 yards on 16 carries.

The Giants defense looked great in week one as they forced the Panthers into five turnovers. The Titans offense is better than the Panthers and the Giants defense isn’t on the same level as the Steelers.

The Giants defense gave up 160 rushing yards to Indianapolis. The Colts ranked dead last in NFL last season with just 80.9 yards a game on the ground. Chris Johnson should be in for a huge day against Giants.

Looking at the NFL betting trends for this game, we see the Giants are 5-1 against the spread in their past six games as a favorite of 3 points or less. The Tennessee Titans are 4-1 ATS in their past five week three games but just 1-4 ATS in their past five overall.

You have to wonder what Giants team will show up against the Titans. The team that forced the Panthers into five turnovers or the team that let the Indianapolis destroy them on the ground and through the air.

Tennessee is 4-0 against the Giants since the Titans moved from Houston. I think they go to 5-0, as Chris Johnson is much too good to have back-to-back bad games.

NFL Betting Pick: Tennessee Titans +135
