Tennessee Titans NFL Week 4 Betting Lines

The exhilaration from coming back to score an overtime victory against the Los Angeles Chargers was quickly wiped away in Week 3 NFL betting action when the Tennessee Titans dropped a lopsided 27-3 decision to a Cleveland Browns outfit that looked leaps and bounds better in every respect. The offense couldn’t do a darn thing against one of the best defenses in the league, while the defense simply hadn’t a clue on how to get in the way or stop a balanced Browns attack. The end result was an ugly three-score defeat that saw them come nowhere close to covering the closing 3.5-point NFL odds at the online sportsbook. The Titz will face another stiff challenge from the AFC North in Week 4 with Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins in town to take advantage of what’s been one of the league’s worst pass defenses over the last few seasons.

Tennessee Titans Week 4 Matchup

On Sunday, October 1, 2023, the Tennessee Titans will host the Cincinnati Bengals from Nissan Stadium in Nashville, TN. Kickoff time is set for 1 p.m. ET with television coverage on FOX. The betting line for this AFC tilt hit the board with the Titans catching 1.5-points and the O/U lined 44. Total bettors targeted the under of last week’s game against the Browns as a surefire under. They were proved right after the game combined for 30 points to comfortably go under the lowest O/U of the Week 3 slate (37). They look to be rolling those winnings over to the low side of this week’s total against the Bengals as well with the number to beat down three full points to 41 and linemakers simply unable to field a differing opinion. NFL bettors also expect Tennessee to have a rough go of it and be in line to drop a second straight with the pointspread up a point to +2.5. For the most part, Tennessee has done a tremendous job protecting its house under Mike Vrabel’s watch, but that hasn’t been the story recently. Their Week 2 comeback win in overtime against the Chargers snapped a string of four straight losses and non-covers when playing in front of the hometown faithful. When catching points as hosts however, the Titz are one of the best in the business evidenced by their 7-3 SU and ATS over the last ten instances. The over cashed in seven of those matchups with an average of 51.1 points scored. This however looks to be a much different Tennessee offense with its 16.0 yard per point average ranked No. 23 overall.

Tennessee Titans Week 3 Recap

A week removed from scoring an exhilarating overtime win against the Los Angeles Chargers, the Tennessee Titans pulled a no-show in the 27-3 dismantling at the hands of the Cleveland Browns. Mike Vrabel’s injury-riddled and talent-lacking offensive line simply had no answer for Myles Garrett and Co. with the Browns defense bringing a relentless stream of pressure that resulted in five sacks and a grand total of 94 accrued yards. Garret himself tallied 3.5 sacks and a near 31.0 percent pressure rate all by himself! The Ryan Tannehill-led offense produced a grand total of six first downs, converted 17 percent of their 12 overall third down tries, and failed to score a touchdown on either red zone penetration. Trailing by 10 points a majority of the second half, Derrick Henry was completely taken out of the equation with the Titz RB1 getting his number called a total of 11 times which resulted in 20 yards and a paltry 1.8 yard per carry average. Backup Tyjae Spears wasn’t much better combining for nine yards on seven touches of the pigskin. Though the defense forced the game’s lone turnover, it had all kinds of issues keeping Deshaun Watson in check allowing the Browns QB1 to log his best showing of the season with 289 passing yards and a perfect 2:0 TD/INT ratio. Shane Bowen’s secondary continues to be a major problem area with the unit getting shredded for 275+ yards per game (No. 28) while surrendering 1.7 passing touchdowns per game (No. 26). The end result proved to be a major Week 3 get for the online sportsbook with Tennessee taking in 55 percent of the bets and 64 percent of the money!

Tennessee Titans Schedule & Results

Tennessee was founded in 1960 as the Houston Oilers, charter members of the American Football League. The Oilers moved to Tennessee due to stadium issues in 1997. In 1999 the Titans made their only Super Bowl, losing a heartbreaker to the St. Louis Rams.

During their time in Houston, the Oilers fluctuated between years of passionate fan support and other years when they were so bad that they were deservedly ignored.

Houston owner Bud Adams founded the franchise and presided over it until his death well after the Oilers had become the Titans. Adams’s Oilers won the first AFL championship.

Houston’s Luv Ya Blue era of the late 1970s is remembered fondly by fans and gamblers. Those Oilers teams were powered by thundering running back Earl Campbell and matinee idol quarterback Dan Pastorini. The problem for the Oilers is that they could never get past the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC.

In Tennessee, the Titans have developed a rabid fan base with its share of highs and lows. Tennessee has made the NFL Playoffs three straight years, but fans are still smarting from their 2021 AFC divisional playoff loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
