The Tennessee Titans (7-6) will play the Los Angeles Chargers (7-6) at SoFi Stadium on Sunday, December 18, in Week 15 NFL matchups.
While the Tennessee Titans lost to the Jaguars 36-22 to drop their third consecutive game and fall in the NFL standings, the Chargers defeated the Dolphins 23-17 in primetime.
Which AFC team will prevail in this matchup? Let’s examine the top Titans vs. Chargers betting predictions in more detail.
Tennessee Titans Season Forecast
The Tennessee Titans were in desperate need of a victory in Week 14 after suffering their second consecutive loss and the dismissal of their general manager. However, the Jacksonville Jaguars thrashed them 36–22 at home.
The Titans are still in charge of the AFC South, but if they want to contend in the AFC, they must make significant improvements starting with a win to break their three-game losing streak.
Over that streak, the offense has been brutal, and last week’s game against the Jaguars saw four turnovers. Teams have punished the Titans as a result of Tennessee’s utter one-dimensionality.
Derrick Henry finally had a 121-yard game after only averaging 34 yards during his previous two contests. It made little difference because the offense scored only 22 points.
Trevor Lawrence’s air attack dominated the Titans as the defensive unit conceded 368 passing yards and 36 points. Under Mike Vrabel, the Tennessee Titans stats on defense has often performed poorly, allowing 365 yards and 21.2 points per contest.
Additionally, keep an eye on the NFL injury report as the Tennessee Titans are dealing with injuries on the offensive line.
