ASA’s NFL Free bet – UNDER 16.5 Titans TEAM TOTAL vs. Broncos, 4:05pm ET
We don’t see the Tennessee Titans exceeding 16.5 points against the Denver Broncos in their Week 1 matchup.
Denver’s defense, which led the NFL with a franchise-record 63 sacks in 2024, is a nightmare for Tennessee’s shaky offensive line.
Rookie QB Cam Ward, making his NFL debut, faces a brutal test against a unit that ranked 3rd in scoring defense allowing 19.0 points per game, top 10 in nearly every passing defense category and were near impossible to run on allowing 4.0 yards per rush (2nd).
On average it took teams 17.1 yards gained to scored 1-point which was 2nd best in the NFL last season. Denver also had the best red zone defense allowing opponents to score a TD on just 44.44% of their attempts.
The Broncos also allowed the second-fewest yards per play (5.0) last season, stifling offenses in all facets.
Tennessee (Cam Ward) will be better offensively as the season progresses but to start it’s going to look like the offense that average just 18.2ppg a year ago (26th).
Denver’s home-field advantage and aggressive blitz scheme is going to make it extremely tough for the Titans to get to 17-points. Bet the Titans team total under 16.5.
