you think will win on Sunday?
Ricky Williams' durability: So far, Williams has had no issue taking over as Miami's featured running back. He has averaged 104 yards per game in his four starts since Ronnie Brown went down for the season with a knee injury. Still, at age 32, it may be tough for Williams to withstand the weekly pounding, and the Titans are sturdy against the run, ranking seventh in rush defense.
Joey Porter's productivity: After a slow start this season, Porter has begun to hit his stride in recent weeks. He has 5.5 sacks in his last four games, and has provided an emotional spark to the Dolphins' improving defense. His challenge this week, however, is not just in pressuring the passer, but also in containing the NFL's leading rusher, Tennessee's Chris Johnson.
The quest for CJ2K: Speaking of Johnson, he is on a tear the likes of which has rarely been seen in league history. He has rushed for over 100 yards in eight straight games, and is within striking distance of Eric Dickerson's single-season record of 2,105 rushing yards.

Johnson leads the league in yards from scrimmage with 2,017. ... The Titans still have a chance to become the league's first 0-6 team to make the playoffs. ... The Dolphins are trying to earn a postseason spot after starting 0-3 for the second consecutive season. ... If the playoffs started today, the Titans and Dolphins would be on the outside looking in.
