Music City Miracles
The Tennessee Titans’ preseason win total was 6.5. I’ll be honest, I felt good about that. The Titans had the number one overall pick quarterback with a lot of promise coming in, and they had an offensive head coach who was going to tailor the system to fit him. They also had a revamped offensive line that was going to be able to protect him, and a weapon on the outside in Calvin Ridley. Winning 7 games was going to be no problem.
Cut to November. The coach has been fired. The quarterback has been up and down. The offensive line is starting to play better, but overall has still been bad, and Ridley struggled to catch the ball before going down with a hamstring injury. The Titans hit their bye week at 1-8.
Our friends at FanDuel Sportsbook are pretty confident the Titans will win another game. They are -800 to go over 1.5 wins. I do think they will find another win, but you would have to be insane to bet it at that number. The most interesting number to me is under 2.5 wins at +140. If I were going to put my hard-earned money on the Titans, that is where I would put it.
