Titans vs. Steelers
DeAndre Hopkins exploded against the Falcons with four receptions for 128 yards and three touchdowns. It was a great performance and a reminder of the brilliance that we’ve seen from Hopkins during his career.
Despite a reasonable amount of targets across the first month of the season, it felt like the Titans couldn’t find a way to make use of Hopkins’ skillset, but last week he flashed the Hopkins of old. And it wasn’t just the Will Levis factor at quarterback as it was Hopkins' second 100-plus yard performance in his last three games.
Hopkins' receiving yards line for Thursday Night Football sits at 52.5, which feels like an instant over smash considering the Steelers have allowed 245.4 passing yards per game, with only eight teams in the NFL allowing more. Hopkins will get the targets, and if recent performances are anything to go by, then he should be able to turn that opportunity into yards.

Titans vs. Steelers
Speaking of the rookie quarterback, we’re going to be betting on Will Levis — just not in any of the traditional markets. Instead we’re betting on Levis to rush for over 10.5 yards in his second NFL start.
The Steelers aren't stout against the run as only five teams have allowed more rushing yards per game. With that in mind, I think we have a good chance of seeing Levis hit the over.
He only managed 11 yards against the Falcons, but he did have seven attempts. Pittsburgh's defense is far worse against the run, so it's conceivable he has an easier time breaking 10.5 yards on TNF.
Levis' senior year in college wasn't great from a rushing perspective, but he did manage 376 rushing yards in his junior season. While running isn't a key part of his game, he has the ability to make plays with his feet if the opportunity arises.
Pick: Will Levis Over 10.5 Rushing Yards (-105)

Titans vs. Steelers
As mentioned above, the Steelers defense can't stop the run which gives me real belief that we’re going to see a big game from Derrick Henry.
Last week, Henry carried the rock 22 times — his second-highest total of the season — so I think if we continue to see high usage, which seems likely post-trade deadline, then Henry should be able to feast.
I'm on Henry to go over 72.5 rushing yards and I'm also taking him to hit 100-plus yards. After a slow start to the season, Henry's flashed his vintage form with two 100-plus-yard rushing games in his last four contests — he narrowly missed out on a third with 97 yards against the Ravens.
With Levis under center, I think the Titans will lean on their star running back. If Henry continues to play like he has over the last month, he will cover his rushing yards line and has a very good shot at surpassing 100, certainly a better chance than the +245 odds suggest.
