The Tennessee Titans (6-2) will take their four-game winning streak into SoFi Stadium Sunday night and face a team that has also won its last four games, the Los Angeles Rams (7-1). Kickoff will be at 8:20 p.m. ET on Sunday. Below, we look at the Titans vs. Rams odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.
The Titans have caught fire as of late, beating the Chiefs, Bills and Colts in recent weeks. But they were dealt a major blow when RB Derrick Henry suffered what could be a season-ending foot injury in Week 8 against the Colts. They’ll now have to lean on QB Ryan Tannehill and the passing game, which features WRs A.J. Brown and Julio Jones on the outside.
The Rams have won each of their last four games, all by at least nine points. Their schedule hasn’t been terribly difficult in the last month, but they beat the Seahawks and also knocked off the Colts and Buccaneers earlier this year. WR Cooper Kupp leads the league in just about every receiving category, putting him on pace to tie Calvin Johnson’s single-season record for yards.

Titans at Rams odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Rams 31, Titans 20
Money line
The Rams look like the best team in football right now, having won their last four games fairly easily. The Titans have gotten on track after losing to the Jets in Week 4, but they look like a very different offense now without Henry in the backfield.
They’ll have a hard time keeping up with the Rams offense, while Los Angeles’ defense won’t have much trouble pressuring Tannehill, especially with Von Miller in the mix now. It’s chalky, but I like the RAMS (-340) to win at home.
Against the spread
The Titans are an impressive 6-2 against the spread this season, matching their SU record. The Rams are just 4-4 ATS, but they should’ve covered last week against the Texans if not for some garbage-time touchdowns in the last eight minutes by Houston.
The spread only moved one point when Henry was announced as being out, so I like the RAMS -7.5 (-105).
Over/Under
The total has gone over five times each for the Rams and Titans. Tennessee is unlikely to match its season average of 28 points per game without Henry, while the Rams should be right on track for about 30 against a Titans secondary that isn’t exactly filled with great coverage players, especially at corner.
Still, 52.5 points is a lot, so I’m going to take the UNDER (-110).
