Bengals at Titans odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Titans 24, Bengals 17

Money line

The Titans went 7-2 at home this season. They are getting RB Derrick Henry and were already the No. 5 rushing offense in the league.

Both teams are great at stopping the run as the Titans were second in rush defense and the Bengals fifth.

The Titans are not as good against the pass but only allowed 12.8 points per game over their final five of the regular season.

Take the TITANS (-190).

Against the spread

The Bengals are 11-7 ATS. The Titans are 10-7 ATS.

However, the Titans covered the spread in six of nine home games. The Bengals, though, were 6-2 ATS on the road.

Henry will be the difference. Take the TITANS -3.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Titans only had two of their last nine games have totals of 48 or more. They were sixth in the league in points allowed.

With a strong defense and a ball-control offense with the league's best back, take UNDER 47.5 (-112).
