LeBron James has been regularly sharing his picks for the NFL season on social media. "The King" is doing so well that former Dallas Cowboys star wide receiver Dez Bryant asked him to pick the winner of the Thursday Night Football matchup between the Tennessee Titans and Pittsburgh Steelers.

The LA Lakers superstar has the Titans getting the win over the Steelers. He liked what he saw from quarterback Will Levis, who made his debut last week. Levis helped Tennessee get a 28-23 win over the Atlanta Falcon.

James was also worried that the Steelers would be without star safety Minkah Fitzpatrick due to a hamstring injury:

"I'm going Titans, bro!" James wrote. "I think Will Levis keeps it going. No Minkah hurts Pitts!"

LeBron James' Thursday Night Football pick is holding so far after the first two quarters. The Tennessee Titans have a 13-10 advantage over the Pittsburgh Steelers at half-time.

Najee Harris opened the scoring for the Steelers in the first quarter, with the Titans earning three points after a 36-yard field goal from Nick Folk. Tennessee took the lead in the second quarter with a Derrick Henry touchdown.

However, Kenny Pickett led Pittsburgh to a late drive to get into field goal range. Chris Boswell hit a 29-yard field goal to even the game with around one minute left in the first half.

Will Revis willed the Titans to another drive that led to another Folk FG to take the lead at the end of the second quarter.

As mentioned earlier, LeBron James picked the Tennessee Titans to come out on top against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Titans were up 13-10 to start the second half, but the Steelers clawed their way back to tie the game in the third quarter.

Tennessee came back to take a 16-13 lead heading into the fourth quarter. Kenny Pickett found Diontae Johnson late in the period to score the would-be game-winning touchdown.

The Titans still had a chance to win the game with seconds left, but Will Revis' pass was intercepted by Kwon Alexander to give the Steelers a 20-16 win.

With around two minutes left, Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks was rushed to a nearby medical facility. Burks almost caught a fourth down pass from Revis, but a tackle took him out of bounds. He stayed down for a few minutes as medical personnel worked on him.
