Matchup Breakdown

How the model sees it unfold — the matchups that decide the game, from 50 simulations
Keys to the Game
  • Tony Pollard (Titans) vs Tacario Davis (Bengals) - winner: Tacario Davis, holding him to 2.8 yds a carry - no daylight all game.
  • Chase Brown (Bengals) vs Owen Pappoe (Titans) - winner: Owen Pappoe, holding him to 3.2 yds a carry - running into a wall.
  • Ja'Marr Chase (Bengals) vs Marcus Harris (Titans) - winner: Ja'Marr Chase, open on 64% of routes for 8.5/9.7, 73 yds a game - a matchup to attack.
  • Tee Higgins (Bengals) vs Cor'Dale Flott (Titans) - winner: Tee Higgins, open on 62% of routes for 6.6/7.9, 64 yds a game - the edge through the air.
In the Trenches
  • Don't expect much heat from the Bengals — a 52% win rate yields only 7.3 sacks and 35.6 pressures a game, led by Boye Mafe (3.1 sacks, 9.9 pressures a game).
  • The Titans may have to manufacture pressure, winning 49% up front for 2.8 sacks a game (Jeffery Simmons (2.2 sacks, 0.3 pressures a game) the one to watch).
Through the Air
  • Ja'Marr Chase headlines the Bengals' receiving corps — 8.5 catches for 73 yds a game on 64% separation.
  • Carnell Tate is the engine of the Titans' passing game — 44 yds a game on 46% separation.
  • Receivers won't find much room against DJ Turner II (Bengals): 42% separation allowed with 1.0 INT a game.
On the Ground
  • Chase Brown carries the load for the Bengals, 11 carries for 35 yds a game at 3.2 a carry with tough sledding.
  • Expect a steady diet of Tony Pollard: 27 yds a game at 2.8 a carry for the Titans.
