Bengals at Titans picks and predictions
Prediction
Bengals 17, Titans 15
Moneyline
PASS.
There’s no real value on the moneyline. The Bengals are 0-1 on the road, and at -145, I wouldn’t back them here. The Titans also haven’t played well enough offensively to assume they can overpower the Bengals.
Ultimately pass here.
Against the spread
BET TITANS +2.5 (-110).
For starters, the Bengals are going to be a popular public bet, which is typically smart to fade. Secondly, Cincinnati’s offense has struggled immensely. It has not won and scored more than 20 points in a game.
Tennessee ranks 1st in opponents’ yards per rush attempt at 2.6 and should limit Mixon and company. Burrow hasn’t looked himself since his calf strain. The Bengals’ offense may not score enough to blow the Titans away.
The Bengals are 0-2-1 ATS while the Titans are 2-1. Take TITANS +2.5 (-110).
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 41 (-110).
The Titans are 1-2 O/U with the Bengals also 1-2 O/U. Neither team has had a dynamic offensive start to the season. Cincinnati has scored just 46 points through 3 weeks while Tennessee has scored 45.
There may not be a ton of offense here, especially given the Titans’ pace of play behind star back Henry. Tennessee ranks 29th in yards per play (4.3) with Cincinnati dead last (4.0).
Expect fewer points and back UNDER 41 (-110).
