CBS Sports’ Week 10 picks:
Pete Prisco: Titans 26, Broncos 18 – “The Titans are back home after going 1-1 on a two-game road trip, barely losing to the Chiefs in overtime. They might have Ryan Tannehill back at quarterback, which they need. The Broncos are coming off a bye, but this is a tough trip to get back going again. Look for the Titans to win it.”

Vinnie Iyer: Titans 23, Broncos 14 – “The Broncos will try to get improved play from Russell Wilson after the bye but their passing game issues will give Tennessee a break back at home. There’s a good chance Ryan Tannehill returns to facilitate a run-heavy attack with Derrick Henry while avoiding the strength of Denver’s defense vs. the pass. Mike Vrabel also has a huge coaching edge over Nathaniel Hackett.”
Bill Bender: Titans 23, Broncos 19 – “Ryan Tannehill should be able to return for the Titans. The last two weeks were a good experience for rookie Malik Willis, but Tannehill should provide a boost against a tough Denver defense that has allowed more than 21 points only once this season. This is a tempting upset pick, but we will stick with the home team. “
NFL.com
Gregg Rosenthal: Titans 20, Broncos 17 – “The Broncos have the goods to make a second-half run. They boast the best pass defense in football and have enough playmakers on offense to believe the attack can be average, especially if rookie tight end Greg Dulcich continues to thrive. This game is destined to stay low-scoring, like most Denver games. My pick comes down to who starts at quarterback for the Titans. If Ryan Tannehill returns, take the Titans in a close one. If Malik Willis starts again, flip the pick.”
