Why the Titans are the pick against the Packers on Thursday night

The game between the Green Bay Packers and Tennessee Titans should be a blowout. Since Aaron Rodgers took over as the Packers starting quarterback in 2008, the teams have played four times. Three of the games were decided by 22 points or more. The winning team has scored at least 40 points in each of those games.

Aaron Rodgers is averaging 231½ passing yards per game this season. The Titans defense is no slouch. The under is available at prices of -114 or better.

Tennessee is tough to run on, stopping 24 percent of rushers at or behind the line of scrimmage this season. Buffalo has a good stuff rate, too. AJ Dillon ran for 54 yards against the Bills a few weeks ago. The New York Jets are good, and Dillon also ran 41 yards on them on Oct. 16.

Green Bay Packers upset Dallas Cowboys in overtime on Sunday. Titans beat Denver Broncos 17-10. The Titans are the pick against the Packers on Thursday night. The game is expected to be a thriller. Both teams have injury concerns. Neither David Bakhtiari nor Elgton Jenkins practiced this week. They are listed as questionable. Tennessee's defense sacked Denver's Russell Wilson six times. Green Bay's win over Dallas was statistically unlikely. It was the most-watched game on any network this season. Dallas led by 14 and had a 96 percent win probability in the fourth quarter.
