Tennessee Titans Week 1 Best Bets - NFL Betting Lines

The Tennessee Titans begin the 2025 NFL season as one of the biggest longshots in the futures market. Their Super Bowl odds opened 100-1 and have skyrocketed to 250-1, while their AFC Championship line has shifted from +10000 to +13500. Within the AFC South, they opened 8-1 but have tightened slightly to +785, though they still remain well behind Jacksonville and Indianapolis. The win total sits at 5.5, signaling that expectations for this roster are minimal. BookMaker Sportsbook now offers Bitcoin deposits and withdrawals for Titans fans betting on the NFL using crypto.

The market’s sharp drift against Tennessee reflects widespread doubts about their ability to compete week in and week out with a rookie quarterback leading the charge. Despite some intriguing young pieces, oddsmakers see the Titans as a team deep in transition. Bettors willing to back them in futures markets are wagering on a miracle development — such as a breakout from Cam Ward — to push them ahead of expectations.

Tennessee Titans Week 1 Matchup

On Sunday, September 7, 2025, the Tennessee Titans will take on the Denver Broncos from Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET with television coverage on FOX. The Week 1 line opened with Tennessee as +6.5 underdogs and a total of 43.5. Since then, the spread has moved through the key number to +7.5, while the total has dropped two full points. The betting market is clearly skeptical of the Titans’ chances in Cam Ward’s first NFL start, expecting growing pains for an offense that struggled to score last season against one of the league’s best defenses.

Trends do little to inspire confidence. Tennessee is 2–8 straight up and against the spread in their last 10 road games, consistently failing to deliver away from Nashville. Totals have leaned Over in that stretch, hitting 7 of 10, a pattern tied more to defensive lapses than offensive explosiveness.

Injuries also complicate matters with Kevin Zeitler (Q), Tyjae Spears (Q), and T’Vondre Sweat (Q) headlining the injured list. Spears’ status is particularly important. As a change-of-pace back, he provides an outlet for a rookie quarterback learning to adjust to NFL speed. Zeitler’s experience on the offensive line would also be a critical stabilizing force if available.

The key storyline in inarguably the debut of No. 1 draft pick Cam Ward. The rookie quarterback will immediately be tested by Denver’s aggressive defense and the challenges of playing in altitude. For bettors, this storyline is central to the handicap. Quarterback debuts are historically volatile, and whether Ward can manage the game and limit turnovers will dictate whether Tennessee can compete and pull out the NFL spread cover.

Tennessee Titans 2024-25 Recap

The 2024 season was a painful one for the Titans, who finished 3–14 straight up, 2–15 ATS, and 10–6–1 to the Over. Against the spread, they were one of the worst bets in football, routinely failing to keep games competitive. Still, there were individual performances worth highlighting. Tony Pollard flashed explosiveness shouldering a bulk of the carries, proving he could be a weapon moving forward after accruing another 1000+ yard rushing campaign.

On defense, Jeffery Simmons remained a force on the interior, even as opponents schemed to neutralize him. Harold Landry chipped in as a consistent edge presence, though the defense as a whole lacked the depth to consistently generate pressure.

From a betting standpoint, Tennessee was a reliable fade across most markets. Their ATS futility burned backers weekly, while their tendency to allow points pushed totals toward the Over more often than not. The combination of defensive breakdowns and an inconsistent offense created an environment where opponents routinely covered and Overs cashed.

Looking ahead, the 5.5-win total suggests oddsmakers don’t see much immediate improvement. Optimists believe that Cam Ward’s arrival could spark the offense, particularly Calvin Ridley who could be in line for a career season. Skeptics point to the lack of depth and the challenges of relying on a rookie quarterback behind a shaky offensive line. For bettors, Tennessee remains a high-variance team, capable of cashing Overs if defenses falter but still likely to be unreliable against the spread. Week 1 at Denver provides the first real look at whether Ward can change the trajectory of a franchise in desperate need of traveling along a northbound direction.

2025 Tennessee Titans Schedule, Results & Record

Cam Ward, the Miami U QB, was instantly one-upped by the Jaguars trading up to select Hunter, and then the subsequent free fall of Shedeur Sanders. While the rest of the league sleeps on Ward, the Titans are hoping they've found their quarterback of the future, so there is some excitement about this new era. Indeed, this offseason is all about Ward. If he's who the Titans hope he is, they're in a good spot. If not, they remain in the basement.

Additionally, gamblers did like the selection of third-round safety Kevin Winston Jr. So long as he's healthy, he'll be a playmaker in the secondary. In free agency, handing Dan Moore Jr. a four-year, $82 million deal doesn't exactly get the masses excited.

Tennessee Titans Past Seasons (2000)

Tennessee was founded in 1960 as the Houston Oilers, charter members of the American Football League. In 1997, the Oilers moved to Tennessee due to stadium issues. In 1999, the Titans made their only Super Bowl appearance, 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.

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