Titans vs Packers 2018 NFL Preseason Week 1 Odds

Written by on July 31, 2018

Every NFL team enters the new season believing that this will be the year when they can win the Super Bowl. While some of these teams are clearly deluded, there are a handful who can legitimately make that claim, as well as a few who could also win it all if they have some things go their way. The Green Bay Packers are a team that falls into the legitimate category, which is why they come on top of the Titans vs Packers Odds for 2018 NFL Preseason Week 1, although that statement comes with a bit of a caveat. The Packers started the last two seasons among the favorites to win the Super Bowl only to see injuries drive both those seasons into the ground. The Packers managed to make it to the NFC Championship Game in 2016 but failed to get anywhere near the postseason after losing Aaron Rodgers for the majority of the season. 2017 proved to be a breakthrough year for the Tennessee Titans, as they were able to get into the postseason and win the Wild Card game. They will be looking for much more this season, which means we are looking at potentially two very good teams in one of the most interesting matchups in Preseason Week 1.

Panthers vs Bills 2018 NFL Preseason Week 1 Odds

Why bet on the Tennessee Titans?

Step one for the Titans this season will be to win their division. They finished second to the Jaguars last year, going 9-7 on the season. Be consigned to second meant having to play that extra week in the Wild Card, and while they did get past the Chiefs, they looked like they had very little left against the Patriots in the Divisional Round. The way that the Titans can get that top spot is to improve on the road. They were just 3-5 away from home last season, and that needs to get better if they are to make a serious run at the Super Bowl. Their last visit to Green Bay came in 2012, and it was one that they will want to erase from memory, as it ended in a 55-7 win for the Packers. The Titans have come a long way since then, though, so we can expect them to be a bit more competitive this time around, which is why this one is in as a PK.

Why bet on the Green Bay Packers?

Let’s not beat about the bush here; the Green Bay Packers will go as far as Aaron Rodgers can carry them. This is a very talented group, but they looked pretty poor without their MVP under center last season, finishing the year with a 7-9 record. Perhaps the most surprising aspect of that record was that the Packers went just .500 at Lambeau, which is not something that you tend to see very often. Titans vs Packers will be Jimmy Graham's debut with Green Bay. The biggest difference for the Packers this season will be the absence of Jordy Nelson, a long-time favorite target of Rodgers. Nelson was shipped out in the offseason and will be playing with the Oakland Raiders this season. This may mean that Rodgers spreads the wealth a little more, which could mean trouble for opposing defenses.
