Giants at Titans Week 1 Preview and Prediction
The Brian Daboll era starts in New York
Nick Ashooh - Sep 7, 2022, 6:26pm EDTGiants at Titans Preview For Week 1
The Giants enter a new era with Brian Daboll taking over as head coach, but the brightest spotlight will be on quarterback Daniel Jones, who still faces questions about his future with the organization. Jones played in just 11 games with 10 touchdowns and 7 interceptions, putting up a QB rating of 84.8 last year.
The back-to-back AFC South champion Titans (+180 to win again) no longer have star receiver AJ Brown, but Derrick Henry is back and healthy, and pretty much impossible to bring down when he's running at you so, you know, that's still a major plus in Tennessee.
New York Giants
The Giants were just 6-11 ATS last year and failed to cover over their final six games of the year.
The Titans were just 25th against the pass last year though, opening up some potential chances for Jones to find an early rhythm.
The Henry aspect is a major issue for the Giants though, with New York sitting eighth-worst in the NFL last year in rushing yards allowed. If they can't contain Henry, it'll be a long day for the Giants.

Tennessee Titans
Ryan Tannehill threw three picks in the Titans playoff loss to the Bengals and was very vocal during the offseason about how it affected him in the aftermath.
Now, it's a clean slate for a team that will rely heavily on Henry and was still able to finish fifth in the NFL in rushing with him missing time, while also being the second-best defense against the run themselves.
Expect a heavy workload for the Titans backfield, and pressure on Jones all game long.

My Favorite Pick: Titans ATS
Tennessee is 6-1 ATS in its last seven games against the Giants, and New York's struggles there last year, this should be a Tennessee lean here to open the season.
If the Titans can get out to an early lead, running out the clock on the ground will be what the Giants should expect to see.
