Tennessee travels to MetLife Stadium to face New York in a Week 3 matchup with an unusual amount of shared history on the sidelines. Check the latest NFL odds as you follow along — Titans offensive coordinator Brian Daboll spent four seasons as the Giants’ head coach before joining Tennessee’s staff this year, and he’ll see plenty of familiar faces across the field. Former Titans head coach Brian Callahan is now New York’s passing game coordinator, and former Titans defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson is running the Giants’ defense.
That crossover cuts both ways. Daboll knows the personnel and tendencies he installed in New York better than almost anyone on Tennessee’s staff could, while Callahan and Wilson bring an inside view of the system he’s now running for the Titans. For a Week 3 game between two teams still settling into their identities, that kind of familiarity on both sides of the ball is the sort of variable that doesn’t show up on a stat sheet but tends to matter in how each staff calls the game.

Spread Analysis
With a coordinator who spent years designing New York’s offense now running Tennessee’s, this is a game where scheme familiarity could matter as much as personnel. Whichever line holds up in the trenches — and whichever staff adjusts faster in-game — is likely to decide how competitive the spread ends up looking by the fourth quarter.
Total Betting Trends
Both teams are still early in figuring out their offensive identity under new play-calling structures, which tends to add variance to how a totals number plays out. Weather at MetLife Stadium and each team’s willingness to lean on the run in a division-adjacent, early-season spot are worth watching for anyone tracking the over/under conversation.
