Thanks to winning their past two games and three of four, the Tennessee
Titans are smack in the middle of the AFC playoff race, but on Sunday the Titans
face the toughest test remaining on their schedule in the New Orleans Saints,
who are 3.5-point favorites on Bodog’s NFL football betting odds.

New
Orleans (9-3, 8-4 ATS) has won four games in a row and enter off a 31-17 home
win Sunday night over Detroit. Drew Brees continued his stellar
play – if it weren’t for Aaron Rodgers, Brees would be NFL MVP
– by throwing for 342 yards, three scores and no picks. Brees (4,031 yards)
passed Tom Brady and Rodgers for the lead in NFL passing yards.
He also became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for 4,000-plus
yards in his team's first 12 games. Brees now has 6 consecutive seasons with at
least 4,000 passing yards. That ties an NFL record, which Peyton Manning
accomplished from 1999-2004.
The Saints clinch their second NFC
South title in three years with a win Sunday at Tennessee and an Atlanta loss to
Carolina. If Atlanta defeats Carolina, New Orleans can still clinch a third
consecutive playoff berth with a win and a loss by either Chicago or Detroit.
However, all three of New Orleans’ losses have come on the road this
season.
Tennessee (7-5, 7-5 ATS) has been involved in three straight
23-17 games, winning the past two. On Sunday the Titans won at Buffalo by that
score behind 153 yards rushing and two TDs from Chris Johnson,
who is surging. Held to under 100 yards seven times in his first eight games,
Johnson now has topped the century mark three times in his last four outings.
Tennessee is currently No. 7 in the AFC, behind the 7-5 Bengals via tiebreaker
for the final AFC wild-card spot. It’s not clear if Tennessee will have its best
cornerback, Jason McCourty, against Brees and Co. He suffered a
concussion in the Buffalo win in the first quarter and his status won’t be
resolved until late in the week. The Titans are 18th in passing defense,
allowing 233.5 yards per game. Brees has completed 70.4 percent of his passes,
has thrown for 30 touchdowns and is averaging a league-leading 335.9 yards per
game.
The Titans and Saints haven’t met since 2007. The Saints are 1-6
ATS in past seven as a road favorite. Tennessee is 9-2 ATS in past 11 as a home
dog.
