With the latest betting odds out for Sunday's game vs. the Cincinnati Bengals (6-4), the Tennessee Titans (7-3) are once again being disrespected by the oddsmakers in Vegas.
The latest line on BetMGM.com has Tennessee as 1.5 point underdogs (+1.5) on Sunday afternoon. This, of course, is a home game that will be played in front of a lively Nissan Stadium crowd. The Bengals will also be without star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase and starting running back Joe Mixon.
So two of the best offensive weapons out for Cincinnati against a Titans team that has won seven of their last eight, and yet still the underdog?
The national disrespect is nothing new for the Titans or their fans, but maybe Titans fans are the real winner in all of this. +1.5 on the spread and even money (+100) to win the game has to feel like pretty good value for this team right now.
Tennessee has won seven of eight and since Week 3, the Titans defense is the best scoring, run, and third down defense in the NFL. They've allowed just 15.4 points and 60.4 rushing yards per game while holding opponents to a 30.1 conversion percentage on third downs.
All of that and a 7-3 record to show for it, but the Titans still remain the sixth favorite to win the AFC and head to the Super Bowl, according to Las Vegas. At +1400, Tennessee is behind the Bills, Chiefs, Ravens, Dolphins, and of course, the Bengals despite having a commanding lead in the AFC South and legitimate chances of earning the number one seed.
