The New York Jets' 2024 season debut didn't go as planned, losing to the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football. They look to get back on track in Week 2 when they hit the road again, this time to take on the Titans in Tennessee.

Aaron Rodgers' had a subpar performance in his first full start since 2022, completing 13-of-21 passes for 167 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Can he bounce back against a Titans defense that held Caleb Williams in check in Week 1?

Let's find out what the oddsmakers think and then I'll give you my best bet.

Jets vs. Titans Key Players to Watch

New York Jets

Garrett Wilson: The Jets' top receiver looked fantastic at times in Week 1 against the 49ers, hauling in six-of-11 targets for 60 yards. If he and Rodgers continue to build on their connection, it could be a dangerous duo as the season progresses.

Tennessee Titans

Tony Pollard: The Titans' running back was one of the long bright spots of the Titans' offense in Week 1, racking up 82 yards on 16 carries for 5.1 yards per rush while adding on a rushing touchdown. Will Levis isn't going to lead this team to victories so they're better off leaning on Pollard and their running game.

Jets vs. Titans Prediction and Pick

I feel most comfortable betting on the UNDER in this AFC showdown. I broke it down in this week's episode of "Road to 272 Bets":

Despite losing the bet on the Titans last week, my belief that their defense was going to be good this season was supported by their Week 1 performance. The Titans kept the Bears' offense to 2.8 yards per play, the fewest in the NFL in the opening week. Meanwhile, Will Levis proved their offense is still going to be tough to watch in 2024.

A similar notion could be said about the Jets. We know their defense is going to be great, but their offense didn't do enough against the 49ers on Monday night to make me think Aaron Rodgers is going to turn this team into an elite offensive unit.

Both team's defenses are better than their offenses in this one. I'll take the UNDER.

Pick: UNDER 40.5 (-110)
