Titans vs Lions Prediction
The current betting odds have the Lions listed as an 11 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Lions have looked really good in their games this season with their 5-1 record overall which has them leading the NFC North with one of the best records in the entire NFL. They are coming off a win against the Vikings on the road in their last one, handing the Vikings their first loss of the season. Meanwhile, the Titans have looked terrible in their games this season with their 1-5 record overall which has them at the bottom of the AFC South with one of the worst records in the entire NFL. They are coming off another loss in their last one, getting blown out by the Bills 34-10. They have had a lot of problems on offense this season with Will Levis, but they didn't look any better last week with Mason Rudolph running the show. The Lions are going to have a ton of momentum coming into this one after a big upset win over an undefeated division rival, the week after they blew out the Cowboys in Dallas too. The Lions are one of the best teams in the NFL right now and with the way Goff has looked in their games, this Titans defense isn't going to stop this Lions offense. The Lions won't need to do much on defense either to stop this struggling Titans offense and this should be another huge win for the Lions at home. The best way to place a bet here is on the Lions to cover the spread in this game.
Titans Lions Prediction: Our NFL Pick for Sunday, October 27, 2024 (1:00 pm ET start time) is Lions 42 Titans 10.
