Tennessee Titans at Denver Broncos (Monday Night Football)

In what should be an outstanding game to cap off Week 1 of the 2020 NFL slate, the Tennessee Titans head to Denver to take on Drew Lock and the Broncos. After taking over as the starter in Denver last season, Lock led his team to a 4-1 record, and the team went out and got him even more weapons for the 2020 campaign.

Tennessee comes into this game fresh off an appearance in the AFC title game, and they are going to be a team to beat in the conference once again this season. Ryan Tannehill resurrected his career after taking over for Marcus Mariota last season, and running back Derrick Henry is widely regarded as one of the best in football.

Tennessee is coming off one of their best seasons in team history, but going into Denver is never an easy task no matter how talented your team is. I like the Broncos to do enough to pull out a close one at home, capping off a successful opening week for the entire AFC West division.
