Titans futures odds
The main NFL futures markets to pay attention to for the Tennessee Titans is odds to win the AFC South and AFC conference odds.
For the AFC South, the Titans are the current betting favorites entering Week 4 of the 2021 season at -450 over the Indianapolis Colts (+375), Houston Texans (+3000) and Jacksonville Jaguars (+3000). When you have two teams behind you with odds of +3000 or greater, there’s a high probability you are going to win the division. The Titans went 5-1 in the division last year and could likely see a 6-0 run in the AFC South if the Colts regress with QB Carson Wentz, who are currently 0-3.
As for AFC Conference odds, the Titans are the sixth-likeliest team to go to Super Bowl 56 with odds at +1200 at BetMGM. The Titans played in the AFC Championship game in 2020 but lost in the Wild Card Round in 2021 to the Ravens.
Derrick Henry NFL MVP odds
A running back doesn’t win NFL MVP very often, but if there’s any back that could do it, it would be Titans running bowling ball Derrick Henry. The former Heisman Trophy winner finished 2020 with over 2,000 rushing yards while also leading the NFL in rushing touchdowns. After struggling in Week 1 in 2021, he then proceeded to rush for 335 yards and three touchdowns in wins over the Seahawks and Colts. His odds to win NFL MVP sit at +5000, which is 12th on the oddsboard and he’s the first skill-position player on the list.
The NFL awarded him with the Offensive Player of the Year in 2020 due to his accomplishments but 2021 NFL MVP seems like a longshot. He could still rush for over 2,000 yards and be outgunned by the likes of QB Kyler Murray or QB Patrick Mahomes. The last time a running back rushed for over 2K yards, it was Adrian Peterson in 2012, and he did win NFL MVP. Henry accomplished the same feat in 2020 and wasn’t even considered a top-three candidate for the award.
Instead of MVP, consider Henry to win the NFL OPOY award again in 2021. He’s currently the betting favorite to win the award at +750.
Tennessee Titans betting trends
The Titans are coming off a season where, even though they finished 11-5 in the standings, they weren’t a reliable spread bet each week. They finished 7-10 against the spread in 2020 and 3-5 ATS in road games. 2021 seemed like it was more the same after failing to cover as 3-point home favorite in Week 1 but the Titans rebounded to cover the +6.5-point spread and win outright vs. the Seahawks and covered as home favorites in Week 3 vs. the Colts to move to 2-1 ATS in 2021.
Although bettors didn’t find much success backing the Titans on the spread, totals bettors had a field day with this offense and subpar defense. Tennessee saw 12 of their 17 games played in 2020 go over the closing total. What was more impressive is that oddsmakers tried to adjust and started putting their game totals over 50 points. Well, in 10 games with the Titans where the total was 50 or more, the over hit in eight of them.
So far in 2021, the O/U record in Titans’ games is 1-2 with Week 3 falling short of the closing total of 47.
Here are the updated trends from the 2020 season:
- 7-10 ATS (including playoffs)
- 12-4-1 on Totals (including playoffs)
