5 bold predictions for Saints against Titans
By Scott Rogust
3. Whoever starts at QB will turn the ball over three times
The Saints are in a bit of a conundrum at the quarterback position. With Jameis Winston done for the year, the top of the depth chart consists of Trevor Siemian and Taysom Hill.
Siemian relieved Winston in the Buccaneers game, and played well enough to help the Saints win. Last week against the Falcons, he initially had a rough go of things, but he bounced back in the second half with two touchdown passes. Yet, it was not enough to get the win. On the day, Siemian threw for 249 yards and the aforementioned two touchdown passes while completing 25-of-41 pass attempts.
Hill did get some playing time this past week, as he completed both of his throws for 33 yards, while running once for four yards.
Regardless of whether Payton sticks with Siemian or goes with Hill, they are probably going to be in for a rough time against the Titans pass defense. Just last week, they forced two interceptions on Rams signal caller Matthew Stafford, one of which was returned for a touchdown by safety Kevin Byard.
The Titans defense can force turnovers, and they will force three this Sunday.
