Seahawks vs. Titans Key Players to Watch
Seattle Seahawks
Sam Howell: Howell is the insurance policy behind Geno Smith, and looked very strong in his preseason debut for Seattle, completing 16-of-27 passes for 130 yards and a touchdown.
Tennessee Titans
Mason Rudolph: With Levis getting the night off, can Rudolph continue to impress in Tennessee. The offseason acquisition handled a bulk of the work in last week’s win, completing 10-of-17 passes for 126 yards.
Seahawks vs. Titans Prediction and Pick
With head coach Brian Callahan tipping his hands that a majority of the starters would be sitting in this game, I’m going to side with Seattle, who are likely to start Howell in some capacity before turning it over to former Panthers starter P.J. Walker.
While the Titans won its opener, the was outgained by 0.4 yards per play against the 49ers and benefited from eight 49ers to penalties. With less players suiting up, I’ll take the discount on the more full team in Seattle on the road in this exhibition matchup.
PICK: Seahawks -1.5
