It will be the first visit for the Titans to University of Phoenix Stadium. By this time it might not be called that anymore.

The Cardinals will have their hands full on this day, no doubt. Quarterback Marcus Mariota, whose season ended early in 2016, is expected to come back strong and he is bringing friends.

The offense includes running back Demarco Murray and tight end Delanie Walker. We know how much the Cardinals love defending tight ends.

Despite the home field and the Titans not being used to this environment, the Cardinals will put up points but struggle to stop the Titans offense at times. Look for a higher scoring affair.

The last time these two teams hooked up in Nashville four years ago, the Cardinals came away with a 37-34 victory after squandering a large lead. I would expect a similar type of game with as potent as each offense is.
