Interesting that this number is 3 point higher than the Vikings line last week.
Last week the Tennessee Titans opened as a 5.5-point home underdog against the Minnesota Vikings. That number felt too low. I’m not sure what it closed at, but my feeling that the Vikings were a good bet at that number turned out to be correct.
This week the Titans open as an 8.5-point road underdog against the Houston Texans at FanDuel Sportsbook. If you consider the three points books tend to give the home team, it means they are saying that the Texans and the Vikings are similar teams. That probably makes sense.
Of course, there could be changes to this line if the Texans suffer an injury of significance in the game tonight. The biggest thing for Houston is that they are getting Nico Collins back tonight. Their offense was really good with him and has really struggled without him. We will see if that trend continues tonight when they take on the Dallas Cowboys.
Any shot you consider taking the Titans +8.5?
