Titans vs. Falcons | Current NFL odds, spreads, betting lines, and predictions
- Spread: Pick (+100 Titans, -120 Falcons)
- Moneyline:Â Titans +100, Falcons -120
- Total: 38 (Over -110, Under -110)
This game is seemingly in the balance, according to the sportsbooks. The game is either a pick ’em or a team favored by a point (favorite is split at different sportsbooks). The Falcons seemingly have more reason to play their starters longer, at least on defense. Therefore, they are seeing a slight lean from the sportsbooks in this contest.
The total at 38 seems high, but that is the consensus mark right now. Both teams have more to work out with their defenses than offenses. Hence, we could see each squad play their starters on defense a bit longer. If this comes to fruition, it could depress the scoring and lead to the under hitting.

Over the course of NFL history, the Titans and Falcons have faced off 15 times in competitive football games. All 15 have occurred in the regular season, with the Titans leading the series 8-7.
