Tennessee Titans vs. Cincinnati Bengals – NFL Playoffs

Details:

How fit he is again is of course a completely different matter. Thanks in part to his presence, the Titans are considered the clear favorites by bookmakers, although this is viewed ambivalently by experts.

The Titans, of course, had the longer break and should be rested, but the Bengals come to Tennessee with the exhilaration of their first playoff win in 31 years. If that doesn't give you an extra boost.

Therefore, our forecast for Titans vs. Bengals is also a 50:50 duel, in which we give Cincinnati a good chance of creating a small surprise. The pressure to get that first playoff win seems to be off and all that comes now is an encore.

The Bengals have won another playoff game after 31 long years - thanks to Joe Burrow. He thus won his very first post-season game, which should further underpin his status as a savior in Cincinnati.

With the Titans they even got a very pleasant second opponent, even if that is of course a relative term in the NFL. But all better than the Chiefs got bye week and are now on the other side on Saturday.
Start of the game decisive

What was striking in the first round of the playoffs was that the start of the games was crucial. In all six games, the team that led at halftime won. Cincinnati also got off to a better start against Las Vegas and led 20:13 at the break.

Especially against a team that had a 14-day break and should have some teething problems, this could be the Bengals' big chance. With a completion percentage of 70.6 and two touchdowns, Burrow had a very good day in Round 1.

He should be able to do that again on Saturday as he hits a pass defense with Tennessee that allows for the eighth most yards per game (245.2 per game). So the matchup suits the Bengals quarterback quite well.

Bengals the dark horse of this year's playoffs?

This could make Cincinnati the surprise team this year. Finally, in the regular season, they also had the upper hand against a possible AFC Championship Game opponent from Kansas City. And with the current momentum? Nothing is excluded.

For Titans vs Bengals, the odds on them are definitely worth betting. Because we don't expect Cincinnati to be such an outsider against Tennessee. Finally, her own rushing defense is also in the top 5 with only 102.5 allowed yards per game.
