On Sunday afternoon, the Buffalo Bills will go to Nashville to take on the Tennessee Titans. The Bills are coming off a much needed bye week and the Titans are coming off two straight wins since putting in Vince Young at quarter-back.
There are many keys for both teams this week but the main keys will decide this game. For the Bills, they need to try to stop the Chris Johnson and the Titans run game. Chris Johnson is on pace for 1900 yards this year and is averaging over six yards a carry. The second key for the Bills will be to force Vince Young to pass the ball. They should put eight men in the box till he shows that he can effectively pass against NFL secondaries. Vince Young has been decent since he returned as the starting quarter-back of the Titans but he still hasn't proved himself. The third key for the Bills is to take shots down the field against the Titans secondary. The Titans defense has been allowing a lot of deep passes this year and the Bills need to try to exploit that.
The Titans will have to protect against the Bills three keys and also execute their main keys. The first key for the Titans is to run the ball against the Bills. The Bills have one of the worst run defenses in the NFL and the Titans have one of the best run offenses in the NFL. The Tiatns should just run, run, run. The second key for the Titans should be to be blitz the Bills all game long. The Bills have a young and inexperienced offensive line and quarter-back Trent Edwards doesn't handle pressure well. The Bills will have fits if the Titans can generate pressure on them. The third and last key for the Titans is more of something they should try to avoid. Try to limit Vince Young to as little amount of pass attempts as possible. If Young is passing the ball a lot, this probably means that the Titans are not playing well and are behind. The Bills have a ball hawking secondary lead by rookie Jairus Byrd. If Young throws the ball alot, he will play right into the Bills hand.
Those keys will be vital to both teams if they want to come out on top on Sunday. This matchup just doesn't look good for the Bills. The Titans run games looks as though it will run all over the Bills on Sunday. And the Titans defense isn't a good matchup for the Bills either. The Titans weakness is their secondary but the Bills don't throw the ball down the field anyway. This game has all the making of a blowout.
Pick: Titans win 31-10
