NFL Odds: Tennessee Titans (+4) -110 vs. Seattle Seahawks (-4) -110: Over/Under: 34

The top of the quarterback rotation looks exactly the same this year for the Tennessee Titans as it did last season. The difference is that Kerry Collins knows that he has been relegated to backup duty at best. Vince Young led the troops to an 8-2 record in the final ten games of the regular season for Tennessee last year.

The far more interesting battle will come for the third quarterback position. Chris Simms was once a starter for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the playoffs, but he is just trying to find a job at this point of his career. Former Florida Atlantic star Rusty Smith wants to make this team as well; both should see plenty of reps.

Three young running backs will be ones to watch, as Javon Ringer, Alvin Peerman, and LeGarrette Blount will all tote the rock quite a bit in this one.

For the Seattle Seahawks, the Pete Carroll era is about to get underway. Make no bones about the fact that Carroll is badly looking for a running back to lead this team. Julius Jones, Leon Washington, Justin Forsett, and Quinton Ganther will all get their reps during the preseason if healthy, but none of the four are really starting running back material at this point. Making NFL preseason picks on the Seahawks could be difficult unless this is sorted out.

The quarterback battle could be quite the tense one. Though Seneca Wallace has departed, Matt Hasselbeck is still in Seattle, and he will be the starter until further notice. However, many think it is Charlie Whitehurst who will ultimately win this job. JP Losman was a success last year in the inaugural season of the UFL, and he is hoping that his solid statistics there can carry over and earn him a chance at becoming an NFL starter once again.

NFL Insider Tip : The Titans watched all five of their preseason games go past the ‘total’ last preseason.

We tend to think that much of the same will be in store on Saturday night. Both teams have a ton of quarterbacks at their disposal that have had a history of starting games, and that should lead to enough points to get this one past the number at hand. Bank on the ‘over’ for your NFL preseason picks.
