\"Titans<\/a>
The Tennessee Titans are 3-9 ATS as favorites the last two-plus seasons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

San Diego picked up a 33-30 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles as 7.5-point road underdogs in Week 2, while going OVER the betting total for a second consecutive contest.\u00a0 The Chargers have been getting tremendous production out of quarterback Philip Rivers, who is tied for second in the league with seven touchdown passes, while sitting fourth with a 115.8 passer rating.\u00a0 Just to put those numbers in perspective\u2014he posted ratings of 88.6 and 88.7 in the previous two seasons.\u00a0 San Diego is 21-3 ATS in its last 24 games versus AFC South opponents, which is important to consider when making your NFL betting picks Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The Chargers are going to have a hard time in extending the field in this matchup, as wide receiver Malcolm Floyd is out with a neck injury.\u00a0 San Diego offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt is confident that Vincent Brown, Antonio Gates and Eddie Royal can carry the offense with Rivers targeting them against the Titans.\u00a0 Defensively, the unit is allowing an NFL-high 375.5 passing yards per game, but Tennessee isn\u2019t known for throwing the football particularly well.<\/p>\n

Tennessee split its two road games against the Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers, as it now looks to improve upon its 8-6 record in regular-season home openers at LP Field.\u00a0 The Titans will likely feature running back Chris Johnson, who enters with 33 100-yard rushing games in his career, while he\u2019s recorded 25 or more carries in back-to-back weeks.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to point out that Johnson is averaging just 3.3 yards per carry this season.\u00a0 Tennessee is 6-6 SU and 3-9 ATS as a favorite the last two-plus seasons, with the UNDER going 7-4-1 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Titans will only go as far as quarterback Jake Locker can take them, as he\u2019s completed 28 of 50 passes for 273 yards and two touchdowns in two games this season.\u00a0 Johnson will likely be bottled up by San Diego for a second consecutive meeting, as he ran for just 17 yards on eight carries in last year\u2019s 38-10 loss as 6.5-point road underdogs.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely play the total, as the UNDER is 8-4 in the Titans\u2019 last 12 games with a betting line of +3 to -3.<\/p>\n
