Why the Titans can cover the spread
The Titans have struggled offensively since upsetting the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles 26-23 in overtime three weeks ago. But before their current two-game skid that has seen them score only four field goals, they did top the Eagles and held the Jacksonville Jaguars to six points the previous week as part of a three-game winning streak.
Tennessee is a much better team than it showed in last week’s 21-0 home loss to the Baltimore Ravens, and this will be another tough test as an underdog. However, the Titans have thrived in this role recently, going 6-2 against the spread in their last eight as underdogs, according to the OddsShark NFL Database.
Why the Chargers can cover the spread
Los Angeles is 10-1 straight up in the past 11 meetings with Tennessee and 9-0-1 ATS in the previous 10 games between the teams, so this would seem to be the perfect opponent in this spot. The Chargers have absolutely dominated the Browns and Oakland Raiders in their last two games, outscoring them by a 64-24 margin.
Defensively, they have really stepped up too after a 29-27 win over the San Francisco 49ers three weeks ago in which they rallied back from an early 14-0 deficit in the first quarter. Overall, Los Angeles is finally playing the preseason favorite to win the AFC West.
Smart betting pick
The Chargers may have underachieved a bit early on in losing two of their first three games. But the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams have also both proven to be pretty good teams, with just once loss between them so far.
Los Angeles sure looks like a playoff contender right now and could still catch Kansas City for the division crown. Bet on the Chargers to continue their hot play with another win and cover in London.
