5. Tennessee Titans at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Yes, this is actually a very intriguing game. Look, chances are neither one of these teams are going to be fighting deep into December for a playoff spot (although Tampa Bay has a small chance), but when you have the top two quarterbacks of the 2015 draft class squaring off in their debuts, it is good stuff.

The Titans are looking for Marcus Mariota to give the franchise a spark. Last year, Tennessee fans had to suffer the unbearable burden of watching Jake Locker and Charlie Whitehurst, while getting minor enjoyment from Zach Mettenberger. Mariota will make plenty of rookie mistakes while he is learning head coach Ken Whisenhunt’s system, but at least there is a future.

For the Buccaneers, top-overall selection Jameis Winston brings new life to a dead organization. For years, it has been the unstable times of Mike Glennon, Josh McCown, Josh Freeman and Chris Simms. Now, Winston gives Tampa Bay what should be an explosive offense with receivers Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson on the outside. This should be a highly-entertaining game.
