Tennessee has slipped to 12th on the list of favorites to win Super Bowl LV at +3000.
That puts the Titans just behind the Colts (+2200), 5-2 Arizona Cardinals (+2500), 6-2 Buffalo Bills (+2500) and 5-3 Los Angeles Rams (+2500). They’re priced just ahead of the 4-3 Las Vegas Raiders, 3-4-1 Philadelphia Eagles and 4-4 San Francisco 49ers — all at +5000.
The Titans’ Big Game odds, though, have still improved from the start of training camp. Tennessee was tied for 16th with +4000 odds in early August.

Titans division betting odds
- Tennessee Titans -139
- Indianapolis Colts +110
- Houston Texans +10000
- Jacksonville Jaguars +50000
The Titans are off to a 2-0 start in the division, but it’s been anything but easy as they’ve had to battle to hold off the visiting Jaguars (33-30) and Texans (42-36, in overtime) in Weeks 2 and 6, respectively.
Meanwhile, the Colts have lost their lone AFC South contest so far, falling 27-20 in Jacksonville in Week 1. The two-time defending AFC South-champion Texans are 1-1, routing the Jags in Week 5 before falling the following week in Nashville, while Jacksonville is 1-2 in divisional play.
Tennessee’s true tests, though, are still to come. The Titans host Indy in Week 10 and then will visit all three AFC South foes on road in the season’s final six weeks.
Titans futures picks and predictions
A season ago, the Titans memorably made it to the AFC Championship Game as a 9-7 sixth-seeded wild-card team, so hardly anyone will be counting Tennessee out if it makes it into the expanded AFC playoff field of seven teams as expected.
It will be anything but a stroll as six of the Titans’ remaining nine opponents boast winning records. The closing stretch is brutal with Tennessee scheduled to play five of its final seven contests on the road, including trips to Baltimore (Week 11), Indy (Week 12) and Green Bay (Week 16).
The Colts also face six foes with winning records in their final nine games, so the Titans’ -139 price to win the division is a solid wager.
As for winning the Super Bowl, the Titans’ toughest task would be making it out of the AFC with the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs, Steelers and Ravens standing in the way. If head coach Mike Vrabel can find a way to patch up a below-average defense, a bet on the Titans at their attractive Super Bowl price of +3000 is definitely worthwhile as this same group demonstrated only last winter it has the stuff for an underdog run in the postseason.
