Tennessee Titans NFL Week 16 Betting Lines
The NFL betting season can’t end soon enough for Brian Callahan and his criticized coaching staff that will go down in history as the overseers of one of the worst campaigns in Tennessee Titans history. While most of the talking heads and team reporters are pointing fingers at the coaching staff for the teams brutal 3-11 straight up (SU) and 2-12 against the spread (ATS) records, there’s only so much they can do to make what’s spoken of and run in practice carry over to the playing field. You aren’t going to win many games in this day and age of the NFL when you turn the ball over six times, regardless of forcing four turnovers yourself, which is exactly what went down in the margin loss to the Cincinnati Bengals this past weekend. Losers of three straight both SU and against the closing NFL odds, the Titz will attempt to play the role of spoiler in Week 16 betting action when it travels to Indianapolis looking to slam the door shut on the division rival Colts faint playoff hopes. Believe it or not, but NFL bettors seem to be banking on exactly just that with Callahan’s troops taking in a bulk of the betting action per current action reports from the online sportsbook.
In falling for the eleventh overall time, the Titans odds of winning Super Bowl LIX, AFC, and AFC South have been taken off the board. Hardly a shock considering the Titz hit the board +800 to win the division behind the Texans (+175), Jaguars (+200), and Colts (+250) and closed 10-1 before Week 1 kicked off. The only futures odds option that was still on the board heading into last week’s bout with the Bengals was the Titans adjusted in-season win total. That is no longer the case with it no longer available. Last we saw it, the number to beat clocked in at 4.5 with heavier vig attached to the under. What a disappointment this team has been considering all the moves made in the offseason saw it owners of a 6.5-game win total heading into the Week 1 tilt at Chicago.

The lookahead NFL Week 16 betting lines initially opened with the Titans catching 4.5-points and the Over/Under (O/U) lined 43.5. The number to beat is yet to move off the opener regardless of the fact that the Titz have been aligned with nearly 70 percent of the bets and money. To adjust, linemakers added slightly heavier vig to Tennessee’s side of the impost. As bad the Titz have been away from Nissan Stadium, they’ve been better on the road in going 2-5 SU and ATS with the over cashing at a 6-1 clip and 51.1 points scored on average. Though total bettors betting on the NFL with cryptocurrency have hammered the over with 85 percent of the written tickets and 90+ percent of the booked handle, reverse line movement pushed the O/U down to 42. These AFC South rivals have played to low scorers five of the last eight times they squared off in Indianapolis with an average of 48.6 points hitting the board. That said, the average point total went off the board at 47.5.
Tennessee Titans Week 15 Recap
The Tennessee Titans fell to 3-11 SU after a 37-27 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, their third straight NFL spread defeat and a continuation of struggles at home, where they are now 1-6 SU and bankroll killing 0-7 ATS. Despite a promising start, Tennessee’s mistakes proved costly, as they turned the ball over six times, leading to 24 Bengals points, including a 39-yard pick-six by Geno Stone. Tennessee opened strong, scoring touchdowns on back-to-back drives for the first time since Week 4 of 2022. Tony Pollard ran for a 3-yard score, and Tyjae Spears followed with a leaping touchdown. The Titans led 14-7 after the first quarter but couldn’t sustain the momentum. Will Levis struggled once again, throwing his league-high fourth pick-six and accounting for four turnovers before being benched. Backup Mason Rudolph offered brief hope but was also intercepted. Penalties plagued the Titans, with 12 infractions for 110 yards adding to their woes. Tennessee’s defense struggled to stop Cincinnati on key downs, while their offense failed to capitalize on opportunities. Brian Callahan lamented the self-inflicted errors. "If you can’t stop them on third down and you turn the ball over six times, it’s going to be tough to win," he said. The Titans now face a steep climb to salvage any positives in Callahan’s debut season.
