Can Tennessee Win as Road Underdogs?

Despite finishing in second place in the AFC-South, the Titans still missed out on a Wild-Card berth and the playoffs. Tennessee’s overall record was 7-10 and 3-3 in the division. At home, the Titans put together a mark of 3-5 while going 4-5 on the road.

Tennessee is coming off a season where they ranked 28th in points per game, on an average of 17.5 points per contest. In terms of offensive efficiency, they averaged 5.1 yards per play, which placed them 23rd in the NFL. On the ground, the Titans averaged 28.6 rushing attempts per contest, which was 11th in the NFL. Additionally, they finished 30th in passing yards.

Defensively, the Titans wrapped up last season at 23rd in yards allowed. Overall, they allowed 21.1 points per game (12th). When examining their pass rush, Tennessee finished 18th in quarterback hits and ranked 10th in sacks.

Saints’ Game to Lose at Home?

Following a season where they wrapped up with a total record of just 7-10, the Saints are gearing up for their season opener. In the NFC-South, New Orleans finished 3rd and posted a 2-4 record against their division opponents. On their home field, the Saints concluded with a 4-5 record, and when away from home, they went 3-5.

On offense, the Saints finished the 2022 season 22nd in scoring at 19.4 points per game. New Orleans ranked 19th in rushing yards, with an average of 116.6 yards per contest. In terms of overall yardage, the Saints were 17th (333.8) and had a red-zone conversion rate of 27.1%, putting them 10th in the NFL.

The Saints’ defense wrapped up the previous season at 5th in yards allowed, conceding an average of 20.3 points per game (9th). When assessing their pass rush, New Orleans was 10th in quarterback hits and finished 4th in sacks.

Saints vs. Titans Player Prop

The current odds for Tennessee receiver DeAndre Hopkins to score a touchdown are at +191. Based on this, the oddsmakers are giving him a 34% chance of finding the endzone vs. the Saints. At +191, I’m getting a player prop bet down on Hopkins to find the endzone against the Saints.

The Prop: DeAndre Hopkins to Score a Touchdown +191

Saints vs. Titans Predictions

I know that this season is a fresh start and last year has come and gone, but I do like that the Titans were above .500 vs. the spread last year. The value on the Titans at +3 is too good to pass up. I like the Titans to cover in what could be a tight, low-scoring game.
