Overview
The Carolina Panthers are in Tennessee Sunday afternoon for their week 10 matchup versus the Titans. These two teams don’t play each other all that often just 3 times since 2003 and it’s probably a good thing for the Panthers as they have lost all three meetings straight up and also failed to cover the spread in all three.
Head to Head Trends
Titans are 3-0 SU in the last 3 meetings.
Titans are 3-0 ATS in the last 3 meetings.
Tennessee Titans (+4.5)
The Tennessee Titans are 4th in the AFC South with a 2-6 record although they are still just 2 wins back of the Colts who are in 1st place so playoffs might seem unlikely but not out of the question. The Titans won their first game of the season crushing the Bucs 42-14 then lost their next 6 games before beating the Saints 34-28 last week. In the Titans two wins they scored a total of 76 points but in their 6 losses they scored a combined total of just 86 points so I don’t know what’s going on in Tennessee that they can be so good and so bad from week to week but I guess that’s NFL football.
Tennessee Titans Trends
Titans are 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.
Titans are 6-20-1 ATS in their last 27 games following a ATS win.
Carolina Panthers (-4.5)
The Carolina Panthers are 1st in the NFC South with a 8-0 record and are tied with the Patriots and Bengals who are also 8-0 for the best record in the league. The Panthers don’t seem like they are all that good a team they are only averaging 359 yards per game on offense but are still one of the highest scoring teams in the league with 28.5 points per game. They do have a solid defense allowing just 350 yards and 20.6 points per game.
Carolina Panthers Trends
Panthers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games.
Panthers are 20-9-1 ATS vs. a team with a losing record.
Conclusion
I’m going with the Carolina Panthers over the Titans in this one. Both teams have good defenses so probably expect a low scoring game and usually that would call for taking the underdog but I don’t see the Titans offense doing anything today I think they will be lucky to put up even 10 points on the Panthers defense so I don’t think the spread will come into play here.
