The Titans are entering this game with a 1-2 record overall and they have a 0-0 record in their divisional games too. They are 1-0 in their home games, 0-2 in their road games, and they are also 0-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game. They lost their last game against the Cleveland Browns 27-3. Ryan Tannehill was the starting QB and he completed 13/25 passes for 104 passing yards, 0 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions. Derrick Henry led the team in rushing yards with 20. DeAndre Hopkins led the receivers with 48 receiving yards on 3 receptions. Amani Hooker led the defense in that game with 9 solo tackles and 2 assisted tackles while Roger McCreary, Azeez Al-Shaair, and Denico Autry each led the defense in sacks with 1. No one on the defense came away with an interception in that game.

The current betting odds have the Bengals listed as a 2.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bengals are on a shorter week here as they did play on Monday night but they will have some momentum on their side after picking up their 1st win of the season in that game. Burrow didn't play at his best but he definitely looked a lot better than his first 2 games and this offense was able to move the ball well all game. The Titans enter this game at 1-2 this season and they haven't looked good in any of their games really. They do have the 1 win at home over the Chargers but even the Chargers are only 1-2 and they needed OT to win that game. They also looked terrible in their 2 losses as they lost to the Saints and the Browns without scoring a single touchdown in either game. They had no offense last week against the Browns as they only put up 3 points and they will struggle against the Bengals now that they have found some rhythm on offense. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bengals to cover the spread in this game.
