The underdog Tennessee Titan team will be playing under the Monday Night Football lights in New Orleans. Vince Young has electrified the Titan fans, as his playmaking ability gives this team a chance every weekend. The Titans are 4.5 point (-105) dogs at SportsBetting.com, a team that enjoyed so much success last season. Are they crumbling under the intense expectations?
“The Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young will probably never be a numbers guy,” stated Point-Spreads.com NFL Predictions Expert Brad Marchetti of Einstein Picks. “Most teams would love to have him regardless of his stats because he is a natural born leader and winner.”
They are 0-2 heading into this one, but Week 1 was a road game at Indianapolis, one of the toughest, if not the toughest venue in the league to come away with a win. The offense has sputtered, Reggie Bush has been a non-factor, and all the “Drew Brees for MVP” talk has completely died off.
But this is a desperate Saint team, one that still has talent. That said, 65% of the sports bettors like the visitor and the points in the last game of the week. Maybe they’re on to something, as the Titans are a very profitable 7-1 ATS in their last eight road starts.
When asked to comment on the New Orleans chances Marchetti replied: “If the Saints are going to turn things around they are going to have to make some adjustments on defense to compensate for their holes in the secondary.”
