Is This Recency Bias By The Sportsbooks?
The Tennessee Titans are coming off of a loss to the Houston Texans while the New England Patriots are fresh off of a primetime 25-0 shutout win over the Atlanta Falcons. Online sportsbooks are labeling the Patriots as sizable favorites in the matchup despite the Titans still being the No. 1 seed in the AFC.
Titans vs Patriots Spread Odds
- Tennessee Titans +6.0 -120
- New England Patriots -6.0 EVEN
While the line could possibly be slightly inflated in response to last week, New England would likely be favored by a field goal or more regardless. The Patriots have won five straight games by an average margin of 25.0 points per game.
The Titans, on the other hand, have an average scoring margin of +2.0 points per game over their last four contests. Plus, Ryan Tannehill is likely to struggle as he’s thrown 12 interceptions this season and will now be playing against the defense that has the most interceptions in the NFL (18).
Betting The Total: 44.5 Points
Those betting on the NFL will naturally be drawn to the UNDER due to the nature of the Patriots’ defense. New England is allowing an NFL-best 16.1 points per game and just 4.33 points per game over the last three weeks. Even further, they've allowed just one touchdown in total in their last three games.
