Houston still has problems at offensive line and completely unrelated problems with keeping their quarterback healthy. They could also be trading Jadeveon Clowney any day now.

Indianapolis just lost a generational quarterback because he was """tired""" of his """body breaking down""". In my day players just played through injuries, went back on the field after concussions, and endured countless rehabs just to have the honor and privilege of being underpaid by the NFL. Oh wait, that is today's NFL. You do you, Andrew. Glad you got your money and your health. That being said, I honestly have more than a little resentment towards you retiring with a perfect 11 wins and 0 losses against the Titans. This was going to be the year...that we increased your wins to 13.

Jacksonville's best player wants to play for Tennessee and still uses a 615 area code number.

This table shows the rank according to average regular season win-loss percent of the last 3 years for every team in the league, rank assigned by this year's Super Bowl odds, and the difference between those ranks (SB rank minus W-L rank). Not only do the Titans come out on the positive end of that difference, they are the only team with a winning record to have a difference as high as 9.





What I am really curious about is how these change after week 1 when the Tennessee Titans play the Cleveland Browns, who are at the complete other end of the spectrum with a -25 difference in rankings (!). If the Titans win that match-up, will the SB odds rank and the WL rank start to resemble each other more for both teams? For the Titans, yeah, it's safe to say at least a little bit. On the other hand, it would have to take the Browns losing horrifically to affect their SB odds too much. We all know it's going to take a lot to stop that Browns hype train, which is going full speed ahead like Myles Garrett rushing towards Taylor Lew--oh god, I forgot that Taylor is going to be suspended that game. We're hosed. Nevermind everything I just said.





The three teams with a rank difference of 8 (Dallas Cowboys, Minnesota Vikings, and Seattle Seahawks) are really interesting to me as well. Two of those three teams made the playoffs last year, and each have a W-L% of at least 60% over the past three seasons. There could be some good value in those picks as well.





Often times, bets are made because of media coverage. The more media coverage a team gets, the more the team is bet on or against. For a small market team like the Tennessee Titans, this can bode well for people who bet on them. Even for America's team, the Dallas Cowboys, negative media coverage this off-season means that even though they are the 4th best regular season team over the past 3 years, they have the 12th best odds of winning the Super Bowl. Coincidentally, the Cowboys coach Jason Garrett ranks first as the answer to the question "Which coach winning a ring before Andy Reid would be the most hilarious?"





I hope this write-up gave you all some good ideas for some Super Bowl underdogs. Happy betting and good luck, y'all. :)

Not only do I bet on my team the Tennessee Titans every year, Ibet on the Tennessee Titans every year. Well, a mixture of happiness and frustration.Frustration because I always feel the over/under win total is too low, and happiness because I always feel like the over/under win total is too low. Turns out I've won two of the past three seasons and pushed on the other one (2016: O/U 6.0, actual wins: 9; 2017: O/U: 8.0, actual wins: 9; 2018: O/U: 9.0, actual wins: 9). I'm actually not that angry anymore. We're pretty good at being a 'Nobody Believes in Us Team'.If the Tennessee Titans were a comedian, they'd be Rodney Dangerfield because they can't get any respect, and they actively want you to know that they can't get any respect. See: Taylor Lewan last year after the Eagles game that the Titans won in OT . I was actually at this game, and it was my first encounter with Eagles fans. As I was walking out, someone wearing a Carson Wentz jersey behind me said "Our team fucking sucks!" When I turned around, he looked at me wearing my Mariota jersey, pointed and said "Your team sucks too!" I've never been more proud of my team sucking.When I started looking at Super Bowl odds for this year, I didn't expect too much Tennessee love from Vegas, but I didn't anticipate the Titans to come in at +8000, which is in the same realm as the New York Jets and Washington. Just to recap, the Jets are in the same division as the Patriots and Washington is about to be without a coach and clear-cut starting QB in a strong NFC East.It's been a few weeks since then and the odds have evened out a little bit. Tennessee now sits somewhere between +5000 and +6500. The odds seem to going down too, as people are realizing that Tennessee might actually be in a good position to rock some bodies in their division and get a playoff berth. Breaking down the AFC South:If you believe what I just wrote above--and should you? We just met. Also, Frank Reich is a quarterback whisperer that helped Nick Foles win a Super Bowl MVP, Nick Foles is a Super Bowl MVP, and Deshaun Watson is probably a future Super Bowl MVP after the Texans fire Bill O'Brien--then let's take this one step further with the Titans and start looking at SB LIV odds.
