Will Titans Will Find a Way?
His NFL debut couldn’t have gone much better for Titans rookie QB Will Levis. He joined former Titans QB Marcus Mariota and Hall of Fame Fran Tarkenton of the Vikings as the only QBs to throw for four touchdowns in their first NFL start. He’s lined at 1.5 touchdowns with the under juiced in the Titans vs Steelers player props.

Even though QB1 Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is listed as questionable in the Titans vs Steelers injury reports, Vrabel says he’s staying with Levis as his starter for this game.
Tennessee’s offensive line is allowing an 11.4% sack percentage this season. That’s third-worst in the NFL. The Pittsburgh defense has recorded 22 sacks and 48 QB hits this season, both in the upper half of the NFL.
Steelers Pickett Insists He’s Playing
Despite leaving last week’s home-field loss to Jacksonville during the first half due to a rib injury, Steelers QB1 Kenny Pickett is assuring everyone that he’ll be under center for the Week 9 TNF contest. In his place, backup QB Mitch Trubisky threw a pair of interceptions as Pittsburgh lost 24-10.
#Steelers QB Kenny Pickett tells reporters in the locker room that he is playing on Thursday "for sure." Meanwhile, #Titans coach Mike Vrabel says it'll be Will Levis starting for them.

To be honest, Pickett hasn’t exactly been lighting it up, either. He’s thrown for 1,330 yards and five touchdowns against four interceptions this season.
A key injury for the Steelers is free safety Minkah Fitzpatrick. The All-Pro is out with a hamstring ailment.
Titans vs Steelers Prediction
The Titans are 3-11 SU over their last 14 games and 0-6 SU in their last six road games. They’re also 1-5 SU in their last six visits to Pittsburgh.
