Who to Bet Saints at Titans
The sportsbooks have this as a three-point game edging the Titans. However, the New Orleans Saints are the better team this season as Ryan Tannehill hasn’t proven to take over games. Tennessee will have to figure out how to play without Derrick Henry, and the New Orleans defense can limit that. All in all, go with the New Orleans Saints to cover the spread in this game on the road.
