5 minTitans vs. Buccaneers Prediction, Pick, Odds: Can Will Levis Put Up Points for Tennessee?
It was recently announced that Will Levis will get the start on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Levis has started in two games for the Titans this year. In two games, he's thrown for 500 yards and has thrown four touchdowns with one interception. The Titans won in his debut against the Falcons but lost, 20-16, to the Steelers in his second start.
Levis didn't throw a touchdown against the Steelers. But he's done enough for the Titans to want to see more.
He'll take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who, like the Titans, are also 3-5 on the season. The Buccaneers began the season hot but have dropped their last four games.
Can Levis pick up his second win in three career starts on Sunday?
Here are our picks, predictions, and odds for Sunday's game between the Tennessee Titans vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Titans vs. Buccaneers Prediction
Will Levis hasn't proven much in two weeks. However, he's already brought more excitement to the program.
When Ryan Tannehill was the starter, he threw two touchdowns and six interceptions. Fans were restless and wanted someone else to get a chance.
Malik Willis struggled to figure things out once Tannehill went down with an ankle injury, so the Titans turned to Levis. He's at least added some firepower to the offense. He's got a cannon of an arm and can connect on deep balls with DeAndre Hopkins and other receivers on the team.
The offense has only averaged 18.5 points per game this season. They've also earned only 187.5 yards per game in the air. But Levis has averaged 250 yards passing per game. So that's something to think about.
With the Buccaneers giving up about 280 yards in the air, Levis will have the potential to throw the football on Sunday.
Tampa Bay is weak in coverage and also struggling against the run despite only allowing about 93 yards per game. With Derrick Henry and the Titans averaging nearly 115 yards on the ground, the Titans could put together a big performance offensively.
On the other hand, the Buccaneers have been consistently average on offense. Baker Mayfield has thrown for 12 touchdowns and four interceptions, while Rachaad White has rushed for nearly 400 yards and three touchdowns. The offense rarely runs the football effectively, but with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, Mayfield, and the passing game has averaged about 225 yards per game.
The Titans have also struggled in coverage and have allowed about 115 yards on the ground this season. Tampa Bay's offense is gradually improving after scoring 37 points against the Texans last weekend.
Therefore, I think we get an offensive duel between Will Levis and Baker Mayfield. I'll grab the Over in this game.
