Horrible conditions lead to a sloppy, low-scoring battle at MetLife Stadium.

The New York Giants are short home favorites over the Tennessee Titans ahead of their 1 p.m. ET kickoff at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 27.

With nasty weather in the forecast, my top Titans vs. Giants prediction and NFL picks are calling for Tennessee to escape the elements with a low-scoring win in Week 3.

 TOP Pick
Titans vs Giants prediction: Under 38.5

The weather forecast is miserable for this Week 3 tilt, so I recommend playing the Under to 37.5.

New York Giants starting quarterback Jameis Winston ranks 38th in completion percentage over expectation among the 39 single-caller quarterbacks with at least 400 plays since the beginning of 2024, and Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward checks in 35th.

Both offenses will need to lean on the ground game, which in turn sets both defenses up for success against one-dimensional attacks.

Additionally, the Giants send out a formidable front seven, while Titans head coach Robert Saleh and defensive coordinator Gus Bradley will have an analytical intel edge, as offensive coordinator Brian Daboll spent the past four seasons as New York's head coach.

It all adds up to a field-position battle at MetLife Stadium, with both teams playing conservatively in an attempt to protect the football.

Covers COVERS INTEL: Jameis Winston averaged just 0.53 yards per attempt on third down in Week 2 while posting the second-lowest adjusted EPA per play.

Titans vs Giants combo

I’m looking to fade Winston in the tough conditions.

In addition to the case against New York's offense, I was impressed by Tennessee's defensive performance in Week 2 against a superior Philadelphia Eagles attack. The Titans ranked above average for the week in both dropback and rushing success rates allowed.

This matchup is a bad recipe for Winston after he posted a disastrous 44.0 adjusted completion percentage while averaging just 4.1 yards per attempt in relief last week.

  • Under 38.5
  • Jameis Winston 200+ passing yards — No

Titans vs Giants touchdown scorer: Tony Pollard

The Giants have allowed three touchdowns and a monster 5.62 yards per rush to opposing running backs, and Titans rusher Tony Pollard is set for a heavy workload with backfield mate Tyjae Spears questionable with an ankle injury. 

Pollard has handled 45.5% of the red-zone carries for the Titans, too, and he’s picked up a solid 3.05 yards after contact per attempt with a 79.5 PFF Elusive Rating through two games.
