NFL Week 12 Early Odds, Picks & Predictions: Bengals vs. Titans

by |

Last week, I suggested grabbing the Colts at +10 before Jeff Saturday’s debut. That line has now shifted to +7.

I also acknowledged taking the Jets at +4.5 last weekend. The line moved to +3.5 for the Jets.

And lastly, I stated that it would be a good idea to back the Commanders at -2.5 before their game against the Eagles, knowing they had a chance to pull off an upset on Monday Night Football. The Commanders are now -3.

We had a successful week last week, bringing in some positive expected value for Week 11.

Let’s try and do the same for Week 12. Here’s a closer look at Bengals vs. Titans.

NFL Week 12 Early Odds, Picks & Predictions: Bengals vs. Titans

The Titans and Bengals were both incredible last season. When those two matched up in the playoffs, the Bengals defeated the Titans, 19-16, in the NFL Divisional Round.

Tennessee got better defensively but worse offensively. Meanwhile, the Bengals are still without a key piece to their offense in Ja’Marr Chase.

The Bengals figure to have an underwhelming performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers this week, who have T.J. Watt back. Meanwhile, the Titans probably won’t see much offense against the Green Bay Packers. They’ll just run with Derrick Henry for most of the game and hope the defense can do enough against the Packers.

Therefore, I’m looking at the total of this game. It’s sitting at 43. I’d back the under and think that number will start to trend down by next week.

Bet: Under 43 (-110)
