Titans at Bengals picks and predictions
Prediction
Bengals 34, Titans 17
Moneyline
PASS.
There is no value on the Bengals (-750) to take down the 1-win Titans (+550) at home on Sunday.
Against the spread
BET BENGALS -12.5 (-108).
A multi-possession spread is always a risk when taking the favorite, but the Bengals' high-powered offense combined with the Titans' shaky defense is a good combination.
The Bengals have scored at least 31 in back-to-back games and three times this season. They have held opponents to 13 or fewer points twice and have won by at least 14 twice. They have a 4-2 ATS record.
The Titans are 3-4 ATS this season, including 2-3 ATS over their last 5. They have scored 18 or fewer points in 3 of their last 5 while their defense has allowed at least 20 in each of their last 4 games.
Over/Under
BET OVER 46.5 (-110).
With the offensive explosion last week, it is increasingly hard not to take the Over when the Bengals are playing. They have a 4-2 Over record and have scored at least 27 in 4 of their 6 games. They have also allowed at least 22 points in 4 of their 6 games. They will do most of the scoring in this contest.
While the Titans have been inconsistent on offense, they have scored at least 24 in back-to-back weeks, hitting the Over in both games. They have allowed at least 23 points in 5 of their 7 games this season.
Best prop bet
BET ANYTIME TOUCHDOWN SCORER: TONY POLLARD (+125 on DraftKings Sportsbook).
Pollard is coming off a 3 TD outing last week and saw his production increase with the absence of RB TyJae Spears, who is set to miss his second straight game. While the Bengals have seen massive improvements to their run defense, the Titans do not have many other offensive options besides Pollard, who has the best value of any Titan to find the end zone.
