THE COUNTERARGUMENT

Tennessee Titans’ Best Argument

The long-term football direction favors the Tennessee Titans only because New Orleans carries the larger concern. The franchise direction advantage is a real point in Tennessee's favor, but it does not outweigh the rest of the higher-rated team’s advantages. The problem for Tennessee is that New Orleans counters with the less severe offensive concern and fewer roster problems.
