Titans vs. Chargers Pick
The struggling San Diego Chargers are hoping this is the week that their season finally turns around, although they have a tough challenge ahead of them when they host the Tennessee Titans in Week 8. Read on to check out our free pick for this AFC matchup.
Oddsmakers from online sports book Sportsbook.com have made the Chargers 3.5-point favorites over the Titans in Week 8. The over/under total for this game is currently 44.5 points.
Let’s get to our free pick.
The Titans enter Sunday’s game with a stellar 5-2 record and have covered in five of those seven games. They’re 3-0 at home this year, which also includes a 3-0 record against the spread.
The Chargers are 2-5 overall and have failed to cover in five of their first seven games. They’re 2-1 at home, however, and covered in two of those three games. (The first time they failed to cover at home this year was last Sunday against the Patriots.)
Our NFL Free Pick:
The Chargers are a brutal football team but we think their luck will finally turn around this week. Had they not shot themselves in the foot in the first half last week, they probably beat the Patriots with how good their defense played. They’ve had the Titans number over the years, as they’re 6-0 against the spread in the last six meetings between these two teams. Vince Young hasn’t played a full game in weeks and while he’s healthy enough to go this Sunday, we think he’ll struggle in his return to action. The Chargers are 6-2 against the spread in their last eight games following an ATS loss and 23-8 ATS in their last 31 games as a home favorite of 3.5-10 points. Our pick is San Diego minus the points.
