Titans vs. Bengals Player Prop
Bengals Wr Ja’Marr Chase faces off against the Titans’ secondary with 22 receptions, placing him 6th among receivers. Moreover, he ranks 8th in targets and has accumulated 211 receiving yards. This season, the Bengals offense ranks 5th in passing attempts, and it’s likely they will continue to air it out. With that in mind, I’m leaning towards the over on Chase’s prop of 82.5 yards.
The Prop: Ja’Marr Chase Over 82.5 Receiving Yards (-118)
Titans vs. Bengals Predictions
Even though the Bengals picked up a win in their previous game, they got off to a slow start on offense. Joe Burrow is clearly not 100% healthy, and that will carry into this road matchup at Tennessee. As a result, the Bengals are a much different team than the one that appeared in the AFC Championship Game in back-to-back years. Despite the Bengals being favored in this matchup, I like the Titans to cover the spread at home (+2.5).
