Titans vs Ravens Prediction

The current betting odds have the Ravens listed as an 11.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Ravens have looked good in their games this season with their 2-1 record overall which has them right near the top of the AFC North. They haven't looked great on their home field though with their 0-1 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Titans have looked terrible in their games this season with their 0-3 record overall which has them right at the bottom of the AFC South. They haven't been a great road team either with their 0-1 road record this year. The Titans were one of the worst teams in the NFL last season and even with a new head coach along with Cam Ward entering his 2nd season, they still look like one of the worst teams in the NFL. Their best game was a 24-20 loss at home to the Eagles in a game they almost won, but even the Eagles haven't looked at their best this year. The Titans lost their season opener to the Jets 23-10 and now they are coming off a 12-7 loss to the Giants who didn't score a TD in the game. Once again, the Titans had a chance to win late, but they couldn't score the winning TD and take advantage of a team that was using their backup QB. The Ravens are in their 1st season of a new head coach and they have had a great start to the season. They did drop their only home game to the Saints, letting them come back after jumping out to a big lead, but they bounced back in Brazil with a 34-31 win over the Cowboys and they will be looking to pick up their 1st home win of the year here. The Ravens have still had some trouble on defense this season, but their defense is going to have a much easier time against this terrible Titans offense. The Ravens have also been rolling offensively in all 3 games and the Titans just don't have the talent to compete here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Ravens to cover the spread in this game.
