The Titans look to stay hot against the visiting Saints, whose top-tier rush defense creates problems, yet Tennessee might have the passing edge.
It certainly wasn’t the usual formula for the Tennessee Titans in Week 9, going on the road and relying more on the Los Angeles Rams committing mistakes rather than overpowering another team with their own running game behind Derrick Henry.
But if Los Angeles was going to suffer from self-inflicted wounds throughout the game, so be it.
Returning home for Week 10, head coach Mike Vrabel’s squad won’t have to worry about a potential MVP-caliber quarterback in the Rams’ Matthew Stafford, rather the 5-3 New Orleans Saints starting reserve signal-caller Trevor Siemian, who is filling in for the veteran starter, Jameis Winson, now out with a season-ending knee injury.
New Orleans’ defense is still legit, though, particularly against the run. In this regard, the Saints have surrendered a league-low 590 rush yards and are allowing a mere 3.2 yards per attempt.
So, that only means quarterback Ryan Tannehill has to pass effectively, right?
Titans injury report vs. Saints Week 10
The following players showed up on Tennessee’s injury report ahead of this Week 10 home bout versus New Orleans:
- FB Tory Carter (hip)
- DB Dane Cruikshank (knee)
- EDGE Bud Dupree (knee)
- DB Chris Jackson (foot)
- EDGE Harold Landry III (hamstring)
- LB David Long, Jr. (hamstring)
- CB Greg Mabin (ankle)
- DT Jeffery Simmons (ankle)
- LB Rashaan Evans (ankle)
- OT Taylor Lewan (knee)
- DT Teair Tart (groin)
- WR Julio Jones (hamstring)
Jones has been dealing with his hamstring issue for a while now, yet it would still be something of a shocker if he didn’t suit up. Simmons’ status, however, is a bit more concerning after not practicing this week.
Particularly considering how effective he’s been against the run this year, which will be important facing off against Saints running back Alvin Kamara.
Titans vs. Saints odds, spread, over/under & betting pick Week 10
The oddsmakers over at WynnBET currently list Tennessee as a three-point home favorite for this contest, and home teams typically get three points anyway, meaning this would be a pick-em game at a neutral site.
Can Tannehill outduel Siemian with New Orleans likely shutting down the Titan rushing attack? Will Kamara be an X-factor?
Tennessee’s moneyline for the game is -105, while the Saints are at -116. The over/under, meanwhile, is 44.
In games this close, it’s usually a good idea to look at the quarterback battle, which gives the edge to Tannehill and Co., but New Orleans covers in our Week 10 close-game prediction with Tennesee winning 24-23.
