    As some of you know, the Detroit Lions were my favorite team until the Titans arrived, and I still love them like a step-child of a 20 year marriage- a mentally challenged stepchild, but still.
    I've grown a lot closer to the Titans over these 10 years because they're much easier to follow with local coverage and going to the games more than once every year or 2. So of course, I'll be hoping we win. I'm not like the Peyton Manning fans that wear a Colts jersey "for one game of the year". Although, I wont mind one bit if the Lions actually did win. I just don't want them to because at this point, I'm thinking draft for them and playoffs for us.

    I thought last week was going to be quite ironic with the 0-10 lions being on their way to a win up 17-0 in the first quarter while the 10-0 Titans were on their way to a loss. And then meeting the following week...but of course the Lions blew it, as I knew they would.

    So here's how I see this game playing out: Low scoring and very sloppy. I don't think this is the week we'll shake off the loss to the Jets. I expect to see us play like we've had our swagger ripped away from us rather than bouncing back strong. We'll run the ball well, and play decent defense, but I can see a lot of frustration and dumb mistakes killing chances at points.
    Calvin Johnson will make a few catches, but Finnegan will keep him relatively quiet. Unfortunately Calvin is a bit shy and Finnegan is too firey for him.
    McDonald could eat Carr alive if Harper isn't back, but if Calvin gets lined up on Carr - go ahead and give them the 40 yards or more. Culpepper is an interception machine, but his deep ball still looks good.
    That being said, I could easily see Culpepper throwing for 3 ints and our D scoring all our points.

    Anyway...I may be the only one, but this game will be fun for me to watch.

    I think it's possible to have a strong interest in more than one team. I have a strong interest in the Panthers, though not as much as the Titans. It's a regional thing.


    I will NOT, however, EVER be associated with the ****ing rayduhs, even though I'm in their territory (Yes, Hawaii is a rayduh nation :irked:)

    Here's how I see the game playing out.

    The Lions offensive line is so weak that Culpepper will get sacked on a regular basis. We will shred their defense up with our run game and it will probably look a lot like the Chiefs game.
