| Tennessee Titans at Tampa Bay Buccaneers |
The latest odds for this game and all of the great games in the NFL this weekend can be found at the top rated online sportsbook, Bet Phoenix. t's bad enough that the Tennessee Titans haven't been able to rely on running back Chris Johnson much this season, and the latest arm issue with quarterback Matt Hasselbeck could squelch any plans on a playoff run. The Titans still have a pulse in the AFC postseason picture with a 5-5 record, but have lost four of six games since a 3-1 start. They are back at LP Field this week after back-to-back road tilts and will welcome the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the Music City on Sunday. Tennessee almost rallied to beat Atlanta in last weekend's 23-17 loss in which Hasselbeck left the game in the third quarter with a right elbow injury. Tests revealed no structural damage, however, and first-year head coach Mike Munchak said his quarterback looks good and Hasselbeck arm strength is back to normal. Rookie quarterback Jake Locker handled some of the reps in practice, with Hasselbeck gradually working his way in. Hasselbeck completed 13-of-25 passes for 124 yards with an interception against the Falcons and Locker finished 9- of-19 for 140 yards and a pair of touchdown passes -- the first two of his young career. Johnson's lack of production this season has made it difficult for the passing game, and he ran for a season-low 13 yards on 12 carries in Atlanta, a week after rushing for a season-best 130 yards at Carolina. Whether his holdout over the summer has played any part in his limited contributions has been the source of debate, but there's no question that Titans need their All-Pro running back giving defensive coordinators nightmares like he has in the past. "That starts with the offensive line," Munchak said of Johnson's struggles. "Anytime you have this conversation, it starts with them. They know that. We need to do better than that. That game may have been much different." Tennessee is second in the AFC South, two games behind Houston. The Buccaneers, meanwhile, are hoping they can turn things around when they invade Tennessee this weekend. The Bucs have lost a season-high four in a row following a 4-2 start and dropped their third straight game on the road with a 35-26 defeat in Green Bay last Sunday. Tampa Bay never backed down from the unbeaten and defending Super Bowl champion Packers, however, as quarterback Josh Freeman passed for a career-best 342 yards with two touchdowns and a pair of interceptions. "We gotta go back, prepare and get ready for Tennessee," Freeman said afterward. "We have a lot of confidence. We're a young team. I'm really proud of those guys." The Bucs have hitched their wagon to running back LeGarrette Blount, and the bruising back almost single-handedly led his team to victory at Lambeau Field. Blount had 18 carries for 107 yards, including a career-long 54-yard touchdown run that will be on highlight reels for some time. Blount was released by the Titans at the start of last season and may have an extra chip on his shoulder for this matchup. Tampa Bay will need to play with some attitude, since its season could be on the line this week. A third-place tag in the NFC South is what the Bucs are left with right now, as New Orleans and Atlanta are battling for division supremacy. The Buccaneers know they must improve immediately and hope bad luck haunts the other teams gunning for a postseason spot in the crowded conference. The Titans have won seven of nine lifetime meetings with the Buccaneers, but Tampa Bay came through with a 13-10 victory at Raymond James Stadium in the teams' most recent encounter back in 2007. The Titans' franchise had defeated the Bucs five consecutive times prior to that result, including a 31-28 overtime decision at LP Field in 2001 and a 33-13 triumph in Nashville two years later. Tampa Bay is 0-6 as the visitor in this series, and the Bucs' only other win in this set was a 33-24 home verdict over the then-Houston Oilers in 1983. Munchak and the Buccaneers' Raheem Morris will be opposing each other, as well as their counterpart's respective teams, for the first time in their present positions. With the season on the line, expect a great outing by both teams as they leave it all on the field in hopes of getting a victory.
