Steelers at Titans: Odds, prediction, betting lines and picks
Prediction
Steelers 30, Titans 27
Money line (?)
Neither team is getting plus-money on the money line, which shows just how close this game is expected to be. However, I like the Steelers against a Titans team that has three close wins against bad teams. The Steelers look like a much more complete team thus far with a defense that is built to stop Tennessee’s ground game. The Steelers will slow down RB Derrick Henry and pressure QB Ryan Tannehill into some mistakes. Take the STEELERS (+100).
Against the spread (?)
The STEELERS (+1.5) are getting points likely because of the fact that they’re the road team. It’s not much, but even 1.5 points helps in the event that this comes down to one point just as the Titans did in Week 3 with a 31-31 victory at the Minnesota Vikings.
Take the STEELERS +1.5 (-115) to cover the spread.
Over/Under (?)
The Over/Under is set at 50.5. The Steelers and Titans combine to average about 64 points per game. As two of the highest-scoring teams in the league, this game is bound to go Over, even with the Steelers defense playing as well as it has been.
Take OVER 50.5 (-110) on Sunday and watch the scoreboard light up.
