Bengals-Titans NFL Betting Preview<br />
</h2>
<p>
Cincinnati is 6-2 SU, 7-1 ATS its last eight times out after winning at Pittsburgh last week 37-30. The Bengals, favored by 3.5 points, trailed 20-17 at the half but took the lead for good midway through the third quarter, later led 37-23, and hung on for the victory and the cover. Cincinnati out-gained the Steelers 408-351, even though it only produced 68 yards on the ground and lost the turnover battle 2-0. The Bengals have now been out-rushed eight times over their last nine games, and that's not a trend we like. At 6-4 overall, Cincinnati sits in the No. 7 spot in the crowded AFC playoff standings, only one game behind No. 2 Miami but only a tie-breaker ahead of the No. 8 Jets. Tennessee, meanwhile, is 7-1 SU and 8-0 ATS its last eight times out after winning at Green Bay last Thursday 27-17. The Titans drove the opening possession of the game 63 yards to a touchdown and led 14-6 at the half. Tennessee later let the Packers get within 20-17 but added an insurance score and held on from there for the outright victory as a three-point dog. The Titans out-gained Green Bay 408-271 and hit 7/13 on 3rd-down conversions, routinely keeping drives alive. Tennessee has now out-rushed seven of its last eight opponents, and that's a trend we like. At 7-3 overall, the Titans sit in the No. 3 spot in the AFC playoff standings, just one game behind No. 1 Kansas City. On the injury front, Cincinnati might be without a couple of key offensive weapons, with WR Ja'Marr Chase and RB Joe Mixon both hurting while Tennessee is banged-up on defense.

These teams just met back in January in the divisional round of last year's AFC playoffs, a 19-16 Bengals win in Nashville. Cincinnati led most of that game, allowed Tennessee to tie it at 16-16 late in the third quarter, then eventually won it on a long field goal at the buzzer. The Titans out-rushed the Bengals that day 140-65, but Cincinnati won the turnover battle 3-1, including an interception that led to the game-winning field goal. Also, that game played way under a total of 48.
