Is this the week the Tennessee Titans final have their first defeat of the 2008 regular season? NFL betting odds for Week 9 on the Green Bay Packers vs. Tennessee Titans game opened at -5 and have since moved to -4 at Bookmaker.com
Tennessee is 2-1 in this series dating back to 1998. They won the last two by 6 or more points.
While the Titans are 7-0 Against The Spread this season, the Packers are 11-3-1 ATS in their last 15 road games.
Kerry Collins has been asked to pass frequently in prior matchups with the Green Bay Packers. He isn't likely to have to carry that much of a burden this time.
The Titans, who continue to get efficient play from Collins, look to remain the NFL's last unbeaten team when they face the Packers on Sunday.
Tennessee (7-0) has been winning with dominating defense, a strong running game and sound decision-making from Collins. The veteran is averaging 28 passes in his six starts, completing 58.2 percent of them with three touchdowns and three interceptions. He's gone five straight games without being sacked, and has been sacked once in 170 attempts on the season.
Collins, though, was asked to throw the ball more than usual Monday night against AFC rival Indianapolis, and went 24-for-37 with 193 yards and no interceptions in a 31-21 Titans win. He needed to put the ball in the air with the Colts using four linebackers to slow a Tennessee ground game that set a franchise record with 332 yards rushing against Kansas City the previous week.
"We can't be happy," Collins said. "We've got to put this game behind us and focus on the next game. I think that's what allowed us to put this streak together is the fact that regardless of what happened the week before, we are able to put it behind us and move on to the next opponent."
Because of the lack of past head-to-head stats, this game is hard for us here at Gambling911.com to offer an accurate prediction on.
