Bengals vs. Titans Updated Prediction and Odds (What Bettors Need to Know)
By Peter Dewey
The No. 1 seed in the AFC, the Tennessee Titans, will host the Cincinnati Bengals in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs.
These teams are the only teams who are not playing a rematch game from earlier this season in the divisional round.
While the Bengals snapped their lengthy losing streak in the postseason last week, can they advance all the way to the AFC title game?

Bengals vs. Titans Prediction and Pick
The Bengals are my best bet for the divisional round for a few reasons, and I broke down the pick on our NFL Best Bets video this week.
Cincinnati can really throw the ball with Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd, and the Titans allowed the eighth most passing yards in the NFL this season.
On top of that, the Bengals are getting star defensive lineman Trey Hendrickson back in this game, which should help them slow down Derrick Henry.
I’m not sure how healthy Henry will look this week, but Cincy allowed the fifth fewest rushing yards in the league and just 4.3 yards per carry during the regular season.
I like the Bengals to cover the 3.5 in this game given their strong season against the spread as a road underdog.
Pick: Bengals +3.5 (-115)
