\"Titans<\/a>
Tennessee Titans RB Chris Johnson has been a failure since signing a new contract in the offseason<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Cincinnati has won four games in a row and will play a second straight game away from home, coming off a 34-12 win over the Seattle Seahawks as one-point road favorites.\u00a0 The Bengals will now be looking to put together a five-game winning streak for the first time in 23 years, while staying in the mix in the AFC North division.\u00a0 \u201cI think we set out not to do anything less than making the playoffs,\u201d commented Bengals offensive linemen Andrew Whitworth.\u00a0 Cincinnati has covered nine of its last 10 games and the \u2018over\u2019 is 6-1 this year.<\/p>\n

The Bengals-Titans series has been incredibly close over the years, with each team scoring exactly 1,677 points in 72 meetings.\u00a0 Cincinnati dropped a 24-7 contest in last year\u2019s meeting as one-point home favorites, managing just 215 yards offensively.\u00a0 The team\u2019s strength is definitely its defense, allowing under 300 yards to five of seven opponents, ranking second against the rush and ninth versus the pass.\u00a0 Rookie quarterback Andy Dalton will be glad to have starting running back Cedric Benson back in the huddle, as he missed last week\u2019s victory in Seattle due to a one-game suspension.<\/p>\n

Tennessee is coming off a 27-10 win over the Indianapolis Colts as nine-point home favorites, maintaining its second-place standing in the AFC South behind the Houston Texans.\u00a0 The Titans have benefited greatly by acquiring veteran quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, who has thrown for 10 touchdowns and just four interceptions.\u00a0 The team is now waiting for star running back Chris Johnson to turn the corner after a slow start, as he missed the preseason, gaining just 34 yards on 14 carries last week.\u00a0 Tennessee is 9-10 ATS at home the last two-plus seasons, while the \u2018over\u2019 is 12-8 in those contests.<\/p>\n

The Titans have played 100 games inside LP Field and posted a 63-37 record in those contests.\u00a0 Tennessee will want to continue establishing its once dominating running game, as the team is 46-7 at home when recording 30 or more rushing attempts.\u00a0 Hasselbeck will still want to target wide receiver Nate Washington, who has 33 receptions this year, filling in as the team\u2019s leading target on the outside for the injured Kenny Britt.<\/p>\n

Bettors will likely back the Titans due to their 17-8-1 ATS mark as a home favorite of under three points, while the Bengals are 1-5 ATS in November.<\/p>\n
