T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bengals.

I like the Cincinnati Bengals to cover the spread against the Tennessee Titans in this game on Saturday. I think the Bengals have a great chance at pulling off the upset here in Tennessee. The Bengals didn't get to rest in the 1st round like the Titans did but they have remained in their groove with a nice win over the Raiders to send them home and they were pretty dominant in that game. The score seems close but they were leading the entire game and Burrow looked great leading his offense down the field. Burrow, along with his team, broke the long playoff win drought for the franchise and I expect them to carry that momentum into this game. The Bengals finished their regular season with a loss to the Browns in a game they didn't really try in since it was the final game of the season but their 2 games before that were wins over the Ravens and Chiefs and they put up 30+ points in both of those games. I think the Titans have a good offense but I don't think they are going to be able to keep up with the Bengals here if they start having a great day through the air. The Bengals already have a great RB in Joe Mixon that can get them big runs when they need them and help relieve the pressure off of Burrow. I think Burrow is going to have a lot of time in the pocket to make good decisions and accurate throws and I'm expecting them to come with a fierce hunger for another playoff win after last week's game. The Titans are rested for this game with all of the pieces they have coming back from injury, it might actually go against them having not played the last week. I think the Bengals will be able to get off to a faster start and I expect them to bury the Titans early here, leaving them to play catch up the entire game. I like the Bengals to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 30-27 Bengals.
