Key Matchups and Handicap: Titans vs Bengals
Cincinnati has dominated this series recently, going 4-1 straight up and against the spread over the last five meetings. The most recent matchup was a 37-27 Bengals road win in Nashville, although Tennessee actually outgained Cincinnati in that game. Plenty has changed on both sides since then.
The Titans have been competitive over the last couple of weeks. They picked up a road win in Indianapolis before falling to the Browns on a walk-off field goal last week. Tennessee also lost a key piece on defense this week, as defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons was traded to the Bears on Thursday.
Cincinnati returns home after back-to-back road wins over the Dolphins and Ravens. The Bengals were held scoreless in the first half against Baltimore last week and trailed 13-0 at the break before outscoring the Ravens 35-0 in the second half. Joe Burrow finished with 292 passing yards, four touchdowns, and no interceptions.
The whole NFL world knows what Burrow, Tee Higgins, and Ja’Marr Chase can do through the air, but the running game remains a major question. Over the last three weeks, Chase Brown has produced just 88 rushing yards with no touchdowns on 2.67 yards per carry.
Expect this game to look a lot like last week’s matchup with Baltimore: a steady dose of Brown early to try to get the ground game going, with Burrow ready to bail the offense out through the air in the second half if the run game stalls.
Bettors expecting Cincinnati to run up the score should also remember the Bengals showed plenty of mercy against Miami earlier this season. With a comfortable halftime lead, they scored just one touchdown in the second half against the Dolphins.
The total is the most interesting part of this handicap. At 46.5, it’s by far the highest total in a Titans game this season. If you set aside last season’s Week 18 game against Jacksonville, when nothing was on the line and rosters were a free-for-all, Tennessee hasn’t played in a game with a total this high since Week 8 of last season at Indianapolis. Cincinnati doesn’t look like the right opponent to turn this into a shootout.

ATS and Total Picks for Titans vs Bengals
Total Pick: The under is the strongest play in this matchup. This is by far the highest total in a Titans game this season, and Tennessee rarely plays in games projected this high. Cincinnati’s running game has been stuck at 2.67 yards per carry over the last three weeks, and the Bengals are likely to keep leaning on Brown early before turning to Burrow when needed. Cincinnati also showed it’s willing to take its foot off the gas with a lead against Miami. With the public entirely on the over, take the under 46.5.
ATS Pick: The spread has jumped from 10 to 11.5, and that extra point and a half gives Tennessee some value. The Titans have been competitive in recent weeks and outgained Cincinnati in the last meeting. In a game expected to be lower scoring, double-digit points carry more weight, and the Bengals have shown they don’t always pile on in the second half. Take the Titans +11.5.
Tennessee vs Cincinnati Best Bets
- Best Bet: Under 46.5 (-110)
- Spread: Tennessee Titans +11.5 (-112)

- Spread Result: Titans cover +11.5
- Total Result: Under 46.5
