Alex Smith will have a MONSTER game! It is his first home game that he will be starting in over 2 years. He had a very nice showing in Indy, and in a hostile environment. He played EXTREMLEY well in clean up duty in Houston.
Please beleive that he has something to prove in his 1st start at home. Being home will give him confidence, and I'm sure he will bring his A game for the home fans.
Not to mention...Tenessee's secondary has been suspect ALL season
Lets look at Opposing QB's Stats against Tennessee
Week 1 Big Ben 363 Yards Passing 1 TD 2 INT 3 Yards Rushing
Week 2 Matt Schaub 357 Yards Passing 4 TD 0 INT 4 Yards Rushing
Week 3 Mark Sanchez 171 Yards Passing 2 TD 1 INT 10 Yards Rushing 1 TD
Week 4 David Garrard 323 Yards Passing 3 TD 0 INT 38 Yards Rushing
Week 5 Peyton Manning 309 Yards Passing 3 TD 1 INT 0 Yards Rushing (surprise surprise lol)
Week 6 Tom Brady (uh oh) 380 Yards Passing 6 TD 0 INT 0 Yards Rushing (didn't have to)
Week 8 David Garrard 139 Yards Passing 0 TD 2 INT 22 Yards Rushing
For the exception of Rookie Mark Sanchez, who you could still say had a decent day, and David Garrard's week 8 performance, everyone else seemed to torch the Titans' secondary. You could Argue that Alex Smith isn't the player Big Ben, Manning and Brady are, but I WOULD say that Smith and Schaub are on the same page skill wise, except that Smith is more mobile.
I foresee it happening.

I hope so. We keep predicting big things and keep getting disappointed.

I've predicted him going for 250+ with 2 TD's, one of them to Crabs, but I don't expect Crabs to go over 100yds receiving

Wait what was your last prediction? Did it turn out good? I honestly don't remember. Was it the one vs ATL or Houston saying how the offense was going to break out and ish or was that someone else? I hope you're right though.

If Jimmy Raye unleashes the passing game (and Sing benches Bruce) it'll be a blow-out before halftime...
But if Jimmy Raye plays p***y-ball again it'll be like the Rams game, blow-out either way thankfully.

I'm worried that the Titans CB's are back from injury though so those stats from earlier games may be obsolete.
Plus, our team without our 2 starting offensive tackles scares me even more.

I think whats happening is Raye(by design) and Singletary(by nature) don't want Alex to get hurt behind that crappy Oline. So they play conservative and try to protect him till they have to throw.

Sorry,
Knocking on wood, and the spoken expression "knock on wood" or "touch wood" are used to express a desire to avoid "tempting fate" after making some boast or speaking of one's own death.
The expression is usually used in the hope that a good thing will continue to occur after it has been acknowledged. So, for example, one might say: "The rain looks like it's holding off, knock on wood", or "Knock on wood, I'm much better now." Another example would be "I have never had to use my gun before, knock on wood". Another example is "I've never gotten the flu before."
