Cards vs. Titans Pick
Two of the hotter teams in the NFL square off in Week 12 when the Tennessee Titans host the Arizona Cardinals at 4:15PM ET on Sunday.
The Cardinals beat the Rams 21-13 in Week 11, but failed to cover as 9-point favorites. The combined score fell under the posted total of 46.5, while Kurt Warner threw for 203 yards with two touchdowns before leaving with an injury. Anquan Boldin hauled in eight passes for 103 yards an a touchdown in the win.
The Titans beat the Texans 20-17 as 4-point underdogs in Week 11 thanks to kicker Rob Bironas’ 53-yard field goal with 47 seconds remaining. The combined total went under the 48-point total.
Oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com have made the Titans 3-point favorites over the Cardinals in Week 12. The over/under total for this game has been set at 45 points.
Both of these teams are red-hot. Arizona is 11-4 against the spread in its last 15 games, while Tennessee is 4-1 against the number in its last five games. The last time these two teams met was in 2005, when the Cardinals defeated the Titans 20-10 in Arizona.
Warner is questionable this week, although should play. Still, he could be limited and if Matt Leinart sees extended time then the Cardinals could be in trouble.
Since Vince Young took over for Kerry Collins, the Titans haven’t lost and have also covered four in a row. Considering Arizona is going cross-country and could be without Warner, we like the Titans to cover the 3-point spread in this matchup.
Take Tennessee –3 and the under, as it has hit in four of Arizona’s last six games on the road.
Our NFL Week 12 Free Pick for this matchup is: TENNESSEE TITANS -3 and UNDER 45.
