All Eyes on Cam Ward for Titans

Tennessee had a brutal year last season, with the only silver lining being their claiming of the 1st-overall pick and QB Cam Ward. Unfortunately, the Titans have many more holes to address than just the QB position. As a still developing QB, Ward will face some tough challenges to lead a depleted Tennessee offense. They need to show more patience with him than they did with past QBs Malik Willis and Will Levis.

Broncos Aim to Build on Success

Denver took a major step forward last season under rookie QB Bo Nix. In the offseason, the Broncos added TE Evan Engram and RB RJ Harvey to further flesh out Nix’s options. After being one of the biggest surprises in the NFL last season, Denver will aim to take another step forward and compete for the AFC West title. Much of their chances rest on the defense, which should benefit from rookie CB Jahdae Barron.

Titans vs Broncos NFL Pick:

It’s no question that Cam Ward and the Titans face an uphill battle here. They’ll start the season with a road matchup against a capable playoff team. While a win may be out of their reach, don’t expect Tennessee to let this one get out of hand. Expect the Broncos to win this one without much issue, but only by one score.
