Tennessee Titans vs. New York Jets odds were in heavy demand heading into Sunday morning.
The Jets were a -2 point favorite at most of the online sportsbooks with a few of the "wise guy" shops offering this one up at -1. betED.com, which caters mostly to the recreational or casual sports bettor, did have the line at Jets -2. Odds on this game initially were set at Jets -3.
Overall this was a heavily bet on game but will not have a serious impact on the sportsbooks since the action was fairly balanced. The Titans were getting slightly better than 60 percent of the public backing on the spread. On the money line, close to 90 percent of the action was coming in on Tennessee to win outright. The payout would be $115 for every $100 bet.
The Titans pass defense has been horrible this season. The team averaged nearly 4 sacks per game in 2008 but they only have 4 this season playing without Albert Haynesworth. Sanchez has not been pressured much this season. Tennessee has to force his hand and make him get the ball out more quickly than he would like. Also, varying its pass-rush patterns and blitz calls may force Sanchez to take punishment. This will be a test for the young quarterback.
The Jets have owned this series dating back to 1998, going 4-1 during that time. They provided the Titans with one of their rare losses last season in Tennessee, beating them by a score of 34-13. The Jets certainly have Tennessee's number.
The Titans are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS loss.
The Titans are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 road games.
The Titans are 17-5 ATS in their last 22 games as an underdog.
Tennessee is 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games following a S.U. loss.
The Jets are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite.
The Jets are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a S.U. win.
