Tennessee Titans (6-3) at Baltimore Ravens (6-3), 1:00 pm

Titans: The club – losers of three of their last four contests after a 5-0 start – have allowed at least 30 points in five of their nine games this season and that’s potential good news for the Ravens, who have been a bit sporadic on the offensive side of the football. Mike Vrabel’s slumping club has already surrendered 29 offensive touchdowns.

Ravens: Baltimore’s run defense was once again exposed as the team fell Sunday night at Foxborough. The Patriots rolled up 173 yards rushing on 39 attempts. All told, the Ravens are a so-so 11th in the league when it comes to stopping teams on the ground, allowing 109.7 yards per outing. And here comes Titans’ workhorse Derrick Henry.

Detroit Lions (4-5) at Carolina Panthers (3-7), 1:00 pm

Lions: Matt Patricia’s club has an opportunity to get to the .500 mark and have had success on the road. Three of the team’s four wins have come away from home. It may be obvious but the club has cut down on the mistakes. After giving up the football 23 times in ‘19, the Lions have only nine turnovers – one in their combined four wins.

Panthers: Matt Rhule’s club will be without Christian McCaffrey (via ESPN’s Adam Schefter) and David Newton says Teddy Bridgewater is likely a game-time decision. The club needs to get back to its opportunistic ways. Carolina has just five takeaways during their current five-game losing skid, this after forcing eight turnovers during its 3-2 start.
