Tennessee Titans Week 15 prop bet predictions
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 8 a.m. ET.
Derrick Henry 1st touchdown (+290)
Titans RB Derrick Henry has rolled up 14 rushing touchdowns so far this season. So it’s no surprise that his ‘anytime’ odds to score a touchdown are a ridiculous -300. There’s no value there but there’s a good chance he is able to score the first touchdown of Sunday’s game, too. If he does, you can triple up. It’s worth a play.
QB Ryan Tannehill OVER 1.5 passing TDs (-155)
When you have a stud like Henry to hand off to, you might think the quarterback doesn’t do much in the scoring department but that’s not true for the Titans. Tannehill has thrown for 2 or more touchdowns in back-to-back games, three of the past four, and 10 of his 13 outings this season.
We played this same prop with Las Vegas Raiders QB Derek Carr Thursday night, and he went out early with a groin injury, summoning former Titans signal-caller Marcus Mariota in his place. Hopefully, we don’t jinx the current Titans field general.

Titans money line and OVER 46.5 total points (-120)
The Titans obviously have to take care of business for this two-sided prop to come in, but we also need to get at least 47 points. It should be a good play.
Tennessee’s offense is good for 30.0 points per game, but the defense has been a little suspect. The Titans are 21st in the NFL while allowing 25.8 PPG, including 135 total points over their past five games. The Lions have some injury woes on offense, but they should still be able to get into the teens to help out.
PK Stephen Gostkowski UNDER 7.5 points (+110)
Gostkowski is a good play on the Under at plus-money, even though the Titans are expected to roll and score plenty of points. In each of his past six games at home, Gostkowski had 6 or fewer points.
In fact, he is averaging just 5.0 points per game during the span. That includes 3 points in a 41-35 loss to the Browns in Week 13. The Titans tend to go for two a lot, leaving the veteran on the sideline looking on.
WR A.J. Brown OVER 66.5 receiving yards (-115)
Brown has been on fire lately, rolling up 87 or more receiving yards in each of his past three games. He is the downfield threat in Nashville right now, and he is a good bet to eclipse this yardage prop.
