Fox's **12/17 Picks and Analysis** NFL, NBA

Ok I'm backing the Titans tonight as a very small home fav. At first the initial lean was slightly toward the Jets, but as I look into it more, I simply can not back Mark Sanchez and the Jets against any decent competition. I like my chances with the home team here on MNF.  The Jets are getting by barely with some of their wins lately. I backed the Jets last week against the Jags, but they weren't as dominate as I thought they should be against a decimated Jags team. The Titans have played decent football at times this year, but have given up some late leads and costly turnovers. Their opponent tonight tho, turns it over just as much. Mark Sanchez is one of the worst Qb in the NFL IMO. The jets will prolly try to run the ball 40 time tonight and hope their defense can get some turnovers. The Titans have been good against the run in the last month or so and I think that continues tonight. The Jets don't have any weapons at the WR position so the Titans will be able to bring their safeties down into the box and make Sanchez and his WR beat him. Sanchez simply cannot do this. He's likely to turn it over on a few critical occassions, and the Jets won't have enough offense to stay in this game or comeback late. This game simply comes down to the inability of the Jets offense to move the chains and score points. If the Titans take care of the ball, i don't think the Jets will get more than 13 points tonight. Titans win 24-13
