The Tennessee Titans<\/a> are at home for the first time in the 2025 NFL season when they face the Los Angeles Rams<\/a> on Sept. 14 at Nissan Stadium<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tennessee (0-1) struggled in offensive execution all game in the Week 1 loss at the Denver Broncos<\/a> on Sept. 7<\/p>\n

JC Latham and T’Vondre Sweat<\/a> have both been ruled out ahead of the game, limiting both sides of the line of scrimmage.<\/p>\n

LA (1-0) pushed around Houston’s offense in a 14-9 win over the Texans last week.<\/p>\n

Here are the Tennessean’s expert picks for Rams-Titans<\/a>:<\/p>\n

GENTRY ESTES: <\/strong>If Brian Callahan is capable of turning these Titans, he’d better start doing it<\/a><\/p>\n

The Rams are just the better team. There’s reason to believe the Titans will improve week over week, and Ward has more than a few highlight plays ready to peek through. But the Rams are more complete, more talented and more equipped to win close games late. That happens here.<\/p>\n

Gentry Estes, columnist<\/p>\n

Rams 24, Titans 13<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s another difficult opponent and defense for Cam Ward. The Rams are a good team. The Titans? Significantly less so at this stage.<\/p>\n

Nick Gray, trending reporter<\/p>\n

Rams 27, Titans 20<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Titans offense has to be better, no? It may be as much about playing the Rams secondary over the Broncos’, even if the Rams pass rush is formidable. But Matthew Stafford and the Rams offense wins out.<\/p>\n

Tom Kreager, Tennessean sports director<\/p>\n

Rams 28, Titans 12<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Titans’ home opener is a lot like the season opener. It’s the continuation of Fisher ball, with field goals galore as the offense continues to struggle with so many rookies and new faces.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Tennessee Titans are at home for the first time in the 2025 NFL season when they face…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":223358,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[8015,8019,4231,32525,1582,276,8605,8999,1318,11652,70459,120506,2961,121171,4230,224,9006,5337,72707,56082,644,663,1571,5382,50,1232,12623,66916,121172,450,1457,1451,7138,62,1458,11124,72004,645,1229,9007,48220],"class_list":{"0":"post-223357","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-american","9":"tag-american-football","10":"tag-angeles","11":"tag-broncos","12":"tag-ca","13":"tag-california","14":"tag-denver","15":"tag-denver-broncos","16":"tag-football","17":"tag-hub","18":"tag-jc","19":"tag-jc-latham","20":"tag-la","21":"tag-latham","22":"tag-los","23":"tag-los-angeles","24":"tag-los-angeles-rams","25":"tag-losangeles","26":"tag-matthew","27":"tag-matthew-stafford","28":"tag-modular","29":"tag-modular-story","30":"tag-national","31":"tag-national-sports","32":"tag-news","33":"tag-nfl","34":"tag-nfl-hub","35":"tag-nissan","36":"tag-nissan-stadium","37":"tag-overall","38":"tag-overall-positive","39":"tag-positive","40":"tag-rams","41":"tag-sports","42":"tag-sports-news","43":"tag-stadium","44":"tag-stafford","45":"tag-story","46":"tag-tennessee","47":"tag-tennessee-titans","48":"tag-titans"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115196607130106101","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223357","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=223357"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223357\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/223358"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=223357"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=223357"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=223357"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
