The experts are just about split on Sunday's matchup between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tennessee Titans. Part of the problem in picking this game is the health of Titans quarterback Matt Hasselbeck. Although he says he's going to play, it seems pretty clear that he will be doing so at less than 100 percent.

The Titans need a win to stay in the AFC South race, but the Bucs have been playing well in recent weeks. They are in the midst of a stretch of games in which they have won 3 of 4, with their only loss coming against the Detroit Lions.

ESPN’s panel of experts is almost evenly split, as 5 of 9 voting members are picking the Titans to win at home. Three of the five prognosticators at CBS Sports, meanwhile, think the Bucs can pull out the road victory. This really is a bit of a toss-up game.
