Titans at Saints picks and predictions
Prediction
Saints 18, Titans 16
Moneyline
The SAINTS (+175) are a solid play as underdogs in their first preseason home game of the campaign.
While the Titans (-210) have tremendous depth, particularly at QB with Will Levis, Mason Rudolph and Malik Willis and at RB with Tony Pollard, Tyjae Spears and Hassan Haskins, this is a team hitting the road for the 1st time. And the Saints are in front of the home fans for the 1st time, and they’ll want to show out before things begin for real.
Against the spread
If you’re a little more on the conservative side, or you just don’t trust the SAINTS +4.5 (-110) straight up, the home side isn’t a bad play with the points.
The spread on this game is surprising giving how close the outings have been for both sides in this preseason. Take advantage if you can’t bring yourself to back New Orleans on the moneyline.
Over/Under
UNDER 36.5 (-105) has been a way of making an awful lot of money in this preseason.
The Under went 12-4 in Week 1 of the preseason, and a whopping 14-2 in Week 2. There is no sense changing gears now.
