This is a 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the UNDER Bengals/Titans.

If this game were being played in Cincinnati, I'd likely lean the other way on this total, however with Derrick Henry likely returning here, and for a few other reasons, I think that this game is going to fall UNDER the posted number.

The Bengals hopes rest squarely on one man's shoulders. Joe Burrow. If Burrow has a sub-par game, then Cincinnati has zero chance. He had a big game last time out against the Steelers at home, but after their first playoff win in 31 years, focus could be a major issue for these young Bengals.

And if Tennessee is going to take advantage of a week off to prepare and win this game, it'll have to "control" the tempo. Keep Burrow off the field. This game is going to be won in the trenches and field position and ball control will be paramount.

Expect this highly-competitive game to fall well UNDER the posted number once it's all said and done.

Good luck, NP
