New coach, new attitude. The Titans still have the puzzle pieces in place. A road win here could be just what this team needs to kick-start their season.
Tennessee - 20 Jacksonville - 19
Titans plus the points o/u ???
Sorry mcgrumpy, going against your Jags in this one. Unless they make the Titans the fav, which I doubt.

New coach, new QB, on the road in a season opener vs a fairly good division rival... Hummmmm... I think you're seeing things backwards here. The Jags play well at home and I don't see the Titans "new" team getting all the off and pre-season work that they will need to get on the same page to pull this off. Hasselbeck is NOT gonna be the answer in Tennessee... even short term. He will be sidelined with injury at some point this season, if not for the rest of the season. Remember he is not in the NFC West anymore... but at some point he will wish he was.
The Titans will have a fair season if they can manage at least 5 wins this season. I would not be surprised to see them go 6-10.
My guesstimate is Jacksonville-20 Tennessee-13

With a veteran Hasslebeck going up against the likes of Luke McCown, I don't see how Tennessee doesn't just run away with this. Add in CJ and the Titans should have a quick start to the season.
That said, I am no expert on either of these teams. Anyone with a reason why Jacksonville hangs on, I would love to hear it.
