Expert Picks
The Titans are on the road for the first time in over a month. They've had slow starts in previous road games against Minnesota and Denver. Cincinnati may be 1-5-1, but the Bengals have come close to winning the past two weeks. Grab the home underdogs.
I thought this line was about right when it was around 5, but now that it's jumped a couple points due to the Bengals' O-line injuries, I'm going to hop on the home 'dog. Those injuries don't change much, as the Bengals O-line has been bad at pass blocking no matter who is out there, while the Titans defense ranks last in the league in adjusted sack rate. The Bengals have only lost by more than five points once all year, and that came in Baltimore. Joe Burrow can get through the backdoor against a defense that's 32nd in third-down success rate and 31st in red-zone success rate, one that will be missing players in the secondary due to injury.
With the exception of the Ravens' game, the Bengals have played everyone close. Tennessee is mediocre against the pass, an area Cincy excels in. The Titans come in off a grueling and heartbreaking loss to the Steelers. Take the points with Joe Burrow.
Tennessee nearly came back against the Pittsburgh Steelers last week in a clash of AFC contenders. The key matchup Sunday will be between their defensive front seven and the Bengals offensive line, which has played inconsistent all season long. Their inability to protect QB Joe Burrow on a consistent basis really hamstrings the potential of the offense. This is a bad matchup for the Bengals.
Derrick Henry is going to have a huge game. He's going to run all over 'em. The Bengals aren't going to see the ball a lot. Lay the points.
