Editor’s note: NESN.com’s Mike Cole, Ricky Doyle and Andre Khatchaturian deliver their NFL picks every Thursday of the season, and here’s who they like in the Denver Broncos-Tennessee Titans Week 14 game, with the line from OddsShark.

Denver Broncos at (-1) Tennessee Titans, Sunday, 1 p.m. ET
Mike: Titans. The Jaguars tried to attack the Broncos’ “weakness” by running the ball all day last week. They had some success (4 yards per carry), but Blake Bortles screwed it up by throwing two picks. I feel confident saying Marcus Mariota is a little better than Bortles.
Andre: Titans. Denver has a great defense, but its rush defense is very average, allowing 4.2 yards per carry (17th in the NFL). The Titans have an excellent rushing attack (4.8 yards per carry, 3rd) and I think they?ll control time of possession by a wide margin, especially against the Broncos, who lead the NFL in three-and-out drives. This also could be a trap game for Denver before its Week 15 matchup with the Patriots.
Ricky: Broncos. The Titans have been unable to string together wins — 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games after a victory, including 1-4 this season — and I’m not sure they’re ready for the big time, even though I really like Tennessee in the context of the weak AFC South. Expect the Broncos’ defense to make a play late that seals it.
