Seahawks vs Titans Prediction
The current betting odds have the Titans listed as a 3.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Titans have looked terrible this season with their 5-9 record overall and they have already been eliminated from playoff contention. They have looked a lot better in their home games though with their 4-2 home record this season. They did lose last week at home against the Texans in a close game that needed OT but they will be looking to bounce back and finish the season strong. The Seahawks haven't looked great this season with their 7-7 record overall and they have looked a lot worse in their road games too with their 2-5 road record. Geno Smith should be back in this game after missing their last 2 but this is still a tough road spot to be in with the travel and against a Titans team that has looked a lot better at home all year. This is a must win game for the Seahawks too and even though the Titans don't have anything to play for here, they can still try to spoil the Seahawks playoff hopes. Even if the Seahawks win this game, the Titans have played a lot better at home all season and will keep this game within a field goal. The best way to place a bet here is on the Titans to cover the spread in this game.
