Your “And One Game To Rule Them All” Sunday Night Football Open Thread

Well, now that the day’s tilts have a.) made the playoff situation a whole helluva lot clearer or, b.) made the damn playoff situation that much more frickin’ muddier* we can now feast the eyebulbs on an interesting and curious matchup featuring two teams with different approaches to getting the treasured W.

TO THE GAME!

Titans/Packers:

-These two teams rank first and third in offensive efficiency but they also have D’s that love to ride the roller coaster. Should be interesting.

-As you might have expected, Aaron Rodgers leads the league in passing yards off play-action. Actually, nope. The Tannyhill possesses that number which is a hefty 1,580.(!) So for sure he leads the league in TD’s off run fakes, right? Again, nope. That belongs to his counterpart Rodgers. He has 18 scores from that play.

-Since 2018 in weeks 14 to 17 Derrick Henry has averaged 6.5 yards per carry. The Packers D ranks 27th in the league at stopping the run, surrendering 4.5 ypc since the start of the season.

-One might think to lay off the Titans wr’s in this spot but Tannyhill has thrown a TD in 11 straight games and has two or more scores in nine of those games.

-Lazard might be your sneaky play in this spot. He finally passed MVS in snap counts and routes run last week, recovering his position in the balls-thrown lineup that he occupied earlier in the season before he got injured. He definitely won’t get the attention that Adams demands.

I’m leaving it all-up to you, down below.
