Tennessee Titans vs. Cincinnati Bengals Week 8 Betting Odds, Prop Bets

The Tennessee Titans are -220 favorites to win the AFC South and pay out $2000 for every $100 bet to win the Super Bowl 2021.  They face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8 as a -7 point favorite.

Slow starts have been a problem for the Titans, but the biggest worry is a defense that's allowing 401.8 yards per game. The major reason for that is its stunning inability to make a stop on third down. Opponents are converting 61 percent of the time, the worst mark for an NFL team in 30 years.

Part of Tennessee's problem on third down is a lack of pass rush. It has managed only seven sacks in six games despite adding accomplished edge rushers like Jadaveon Clowney and Vic Beasley. By contrast, Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett (9) and Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald (8) own more sacks than the Titans.

If Tennessee can't create more pressure in the pocket, Cincinnati's rookie quarterback, Joe Burrow, is more than capable of exposing its secondary. Burrow's 406 yards and three touchdowns last week put the Bengals in position before their defense permitted Cleveland to drive 75 yards in the final 55 seconds to pull out a 37-34 win.
