New York Jets at Tennessee Titans: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 2 game

September 11, 2024

Week 1 was a bit of a disappointment for both the New York Jets and Tennessee Titans, but for vastly different reasons.

The former was hoping that the return of Aaron Rodgers would give the Jets a spark they haven’t had on offense in recent memory. Sure, they weren’t expected to beat the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night, but maybe they could keep it close? That didn’t really happen though. Despite only losing by 13 points, the game wasn’t as close as the score would imply. The 49ers were in full control of the game from about the second quarter on, and they did so without Christian McCaffrey.

The Titans, on the other hand, were in total control of their game against Chicago, yet walked away with the loss after a brutal pick-six from quarterback Will Levis.

Now these two teams each get a shot at redemption facing each other in Week 2. Here are our experts’ predictions for this AFC clash.

Lorenzo Reyes: Jets 29, Titans 10

I think the Jets are poised for a great bounce back opportunity here. They opened against arguably the best team in the league and the New York defense should feast on a Titans team that is prone to mistakes and has big holes. I like the Jets here in a blowout.

Tyler Dragon: Jets 27, Titans 17

The Jets aren’t worried after a tough loss against the 49ers in Week 1. The best news coming out of the opener is that Aaron Rodgers is unscathed. The Jets know that they have the talent to be a good team. Good teams beat inferior opponents.

Richard Morin: Jets 24, Titans 21

The Titans make it interesting but the Jets get a much-needed win in Week 2. I don’t love any play here, but Tennessee at +3.5 is a little attractive.

Jordan Mendoza: Jets 22, Titans 13

The thumping from San Francisco wasn’t exactly how the Jets thought Aaron Rodgers’ first full game would go. This week they get a much easier opponent and the defense makes life miserable for Will Levis.
