Why the Bengals can cover
Cincinnati has dominated Tennessee in recent years, covering the spread in six consecutive games. The Bengals have also covered in five straight road games in Nashville, while the Titans have only covered once in their last five home games. Tennessee has lost nine of its last 10 games overall and was held to its fewest yards in a game in 49 years last week.
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw for a season-high 259 yards in a 19-16 win over the Rams after entering the contest as a game-time decision, connecting with wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase 12 times for 141 yards. Burrow has only been sacked five times through the first three games of the season, while Tennessee quarterback Ryan Tannehill has been sacked 13 times. Cincinnati has won five straight games against AFC South opponents, and the Bengals have won 11 of their last 14 games overall. See which team to pick here.
Why the Titans can cover
History has proven that the Titans are a force under Mike Vrabel when Vegas instills them as home underdogs. In Week 2, Tennessee was a 3-point underdog against the Los Angeles Chargers and won that game outright, 27-24 in overtime. The Titans are also coming off a blowout loss to the Browns in Week 3, so motivation should be high.
Despite their struggles this season, the Titans remain one of the league's best when it comes to defending the run. Through three games, Tennessee is allowing 69.3 rushing yards per game, a top-five mark in the NFL. See which team to pick here.
