Got to admit that surprises me.

Bengals offense has scored 30 or more points in 4 out of the last 5 games
while the Titans have only scored more than 20 point once in the last six games.
Factor in the Titans defense and Bengals -1.5 sounds about right.
P.S. think the Bengals cover

I know they have an extra away game this year, but damn. This will be 7 of 11. First back to back home games are week 12 and 13?

Let’s see how the 2022 offensive line plays. Last year’s version allowed nine sacks against the Titans. I know the Bengals won that game but Joe Burrow needs better pass protection against the Tennessee pass rush.

Titans are looking good lately.
Thank God Reader is back to help w Henry.
Should be a good one.
That said, I think these better teams expose the Awuzie-less D
Our O has adjusted nicely to the Chase absence.
I also think it forces JB to look for other options and we have been fortunate enough to find some gems.
But this Awuzie thing is just plain bad.

Are they very good passing? I haven’t paid much attention to them. They seem to be flying under the radar despite having a really good season.

Defense has to make Tannehill beat us.
Really glad Reader is back to help stop Henry.

I thought they looked good against Green Bay.

Yeah I just looked. Tannehill threw for 333

I believe they've been the favorites every game thus far.

Definitely will be a test
Yet they seem to be pass blocking a little better and Burrow throwing much quicker ala Tom Brady is helping in that as well.

I think they are as well. I think part of it is everyone assumed weeks ago they'd make the playoffs due to their weak division, and most people don't trust Tannnehill.
I'll say what I said in the Game Day Thread, I think Tennessee are a tough physical team, but a limited one. A team who is in the top tier will beat the Titans most of the time. BUT the Titans will make everyone work for a win against them and give nobody an easy game.
We'll have to play pretty well and pretty clean to beat these guys. Like absolutely everyone would say, you have to not let Henry go off and you have to make Tannehill beat you.
Titans are a good squad, and I like the way they play. Standard stuff in this one, no turnovers and do your best to keep them 3rd and long.

They will be looking for revenge due that we knocked them out of the playoffs last year.

For sure
The Titans are very good if they can play their game. You have to get them out of their wheelhouse. Starting from the beginning, score early and score often.

Yep. I know it's a cliche but they need to slow down Henry on early runs and, as you say, get them out of their MO. They always play hard and very smart and after losing in the playoffs to Cinci. they're going to be relentless the entire game. As long as JB continues to take what the D is giving him they'll move it. Still, would love to see them move JB out of the pocket more to avoid the rush.

The Titans defense is very good. It will be a tough test for offense. We beat them in the playoffs because Tannehill had a bad game if I recall including fumbling a snap.
2024 may go on record as one of most underperforming teams in Bengal history. Bengal's FO has major work to do on defensive side of the ball. I say tag and trade Tee Higgins in 2025 to start with the rebuild.
