The Titans took down a pair of NFC West foes — the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks — at home. Now, they hit the road for the first time as they look to finish strong before the start of the regular season.
Oddly enough, while the New Orleans Saints have split their two games, there were . Dennis Allen's team has suffered a list of injuries this preseason and the final tune-up game will get those players back up to speed. It's also an opportunity for the offense to continue growing under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak.
FanDuel Sportsbook lists the visitors as 3.5-point favorites with an over/under of 36.5 points.
Let's dive into the odds for the highly anticipated clash: 1 p.m. CT (Fox/NFL Network) Titans -3.
5 36.5 Titans -200, Saints +170 Part of what makes Tennessee so successful in the preseason is depth at key positions. The Titans have three quarterbacks on the depth chart with starting experience in the NFL: Will Levis, Mason Rudolph and Malik Willis.
Backup quarterback play is , but it's not the only important spot Tennessee has depth in. The Titans also have experience at running back with Hassan Haskins, Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears. These are luxuries the Saints simply don't have in their ranks.
While Jake Haener and Spencer Rattler have had positive moments, they've not got enough experience compared to their counterparts. New Orleans hasn't been efficient on the ground either, although it was better against San Francisco. Tennessee could force Derek Carr, Haener and Rattler to be playmakers in this contest.
The Titans have allowed 64 and 67 rushing yards in their previous preseason games, so the Saints could have to lean on their inexperienced signal callers to make plays. Dennis Allen-coached teams are 8-12 in the preseason whereas Brian Callahan has yet to taste defeat in two games. I'll side with the experienced quarterbacks and back Tennessee to go undefeated in preseason before a rough upcoming campaign.
Titans 17, Saints 13 (Under 36.5) Titans -3.5 at Saints (-115 at FanDuel Sportsbook).
