Steelers vs. Titans Updated Odds
Two teams that won their openers in Week 1 will square off on Sunday in Nashville, as the Tennessee Titans host the Pittsburgh Steelers at 1:00PM ET.
Game Preview:
The Steelers earned a big home victory over the Falcons in Week 1 after Rashard Mendenhall broke off a 50-yard touchdown run in overtime to give Pittsburgh a 15-9 win. The victory was significant, because the Steelers were able to win with Dennis Dixon under center as Ben Roethlisberger served game one of a four-game suspension.
The Titans, meanwhile, absolutely waxed the Raiders in their home opener. They’ll have a much tougher time moving the ball against a stingy Pittsburgh defense, but a win could go a long way to giving Jeff Fisher’s team confidence in the early going of 2010.
Line Movement & Updated Odds:
The line opened at Steelers +5 but since then, the line has dropped. Oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com have now installed the Titans as a 5-point favorite, while the over/under total is 37 after opening at 38.
