Tennessee Titans vs St. Louis Rams preview

Blogged under Bloglockers,General,This Week\'s Matchup Report by Andrew on Friday 11 December 2009 at 10:56 pm

The Tennessee Titans (5-7) are still holding on to playoff hopes despite the end to their 5-game winning streak last week.  They should have no problem getting back to their winning ways as they host the St. Louis Rams (1-11) on Sunday.  The Titans do one thing very well:  run the ball.  The Rams do a lot of things bad, but one of their worst is stopping the run.  They give up 146 rushing yards on average, and with Chris Johnson and Vince Young in the Titans backfield it could look like a track meet on Sunday.  Johnson has been great this year and is averaging 6.2 yards per carry this season, so he should have a big day against the Rams and their stingy run defense.

The Rams have a pretty good running back themselves in Steven Jackson.  Jackson has been basically the Rams whole offense this season, and has rushed for 1232 yards this season and is averaging 4.6 yards per carry.  The Titans are pretty decent and stopping the run though, so they should be able to limit what Jackson does.  They do not have a good pass defense, but fortunately for them the Rams quarterback is Kyle Boller who is awful.

FINAL SCORE PREDICTION:  Tennessee Titans 31, St. Louis Rams 14
