Titans Packers Pick, Green Bay cover?

The Tennessee Titans have covered seven straight games and look for an eighth in visiting Green Bay in the Week 11 Thursday Nighter.

But are they arriving in slumping Green Bay at just the wrong time, after the Packers ripped off nearly 250 rushing yards against Dallas and finally found a deep threat for Aaron Rodgers?

Neither team does well in Week 11, the Titans have been solid as dogs while the Packers have been terrible as chalk. It’s a critical game for Green Bay, but ‘must-win’ games do not always mean ‘will win’ or ‘will cover.’

Why the Titans can cover the spread

After training Denver early, the Titan defense slammed the door in Week 10 while the offense was able to creep along in a 17-10 win. After watching Tony Pollard scoot for 115 yards in the Dallas loss at Lambeau, they are probably licking their chops over the numbers Derrick Henry can put up.

The spread is small and achievable and Tennessee usually covers as an underdog (9-3 ATS past 12 times) while the Packers have been bleeding money when laying points (2-9 ATS past 11 times). Green Bay has also lost five straight Week 11 contests, who knows why ….

Why the Packers can cover the spread

Green Bay saved their season in rallying past Dallas, but the fact remains they were down 28-14 at home and nearly lost a sixth straight game. Rodgers’ body language was very different and the sudden emergence of Christian Watson may change everything for Green Bay, who managed nearly 250 rushing yards against a stout Dallas run stop.

Green Bay is usually ready on short weeks, as their 6-1-1 ATS on the past 8 Thursdays indicates. And the Titans have weirdly lost 9 of their last 10 in Week 11.

Titans Packers Pick

Think the Packers sudden rushing success and its sudden deep threat success might be related? Of course, it is. And with Rodgers feeling frisky and in prime time, we would be surprised to see the Packers fail here at home unless they stop handing the ball to Aaron Jones. We love them -2.5, we like them if the line moves to -3.
