2008-11-23 - New York Jets at Tennessee Titans
A Sports Betting Pick by Bodog
LP Field, Nashville, TN
November 23, 2008 - Kickoff 1:00 PM ET
Who thought that a meeting between the New York Jets and Tennessee Titans in Week 12 could help determine the AFC favorite to reach the Super Bowl?
The Titans continue to roll over the rest of the NFL at 10-0 SU and 9-0-1 ATS. The Jets, meanwhile, have wrested control of the AFC East from the Patriots at 7-3 SU and 6-4 ATS.
Tennessee Titans (10-0, 5-0 home, 9-0-1 ATS)
Tennessee is a 6-point chalk (-105) at home when the Titans last played at LP Field, they needed a FG in overtime to record a 19-16 win over Green Bay.
That is certainly the case on Sunday as two of the NFL's oldest and most experienced quarterbacks will square off in the most highly-anticipated game of the week.
The 5.5-point favorite Titans are looking to become the 13th team in NFL history to open a season 11-0, and the eighth since 1970. Kerry Collins is showing he can lead a team, throwing for 519 yards with five touchdowns and one interception in road wins over Chicago and Jacksonville.
New York Jets (7-3, 3-2 Road, 6-4 ATS)
Brett Favre is also on fire, having completed nearly 77 percent of his passes in the last two weeks, and he did not throw an interception in either game after doing so in seven straight.
New York is on a three-game winning streak SU and ATS.
Head-to-head
The Jets are 4-0 ATS, and 3-1 SU in their last four meetings with the Titans, athough it was Tennessee who actually won the game on the scoreboard last time out.
23/12/2007 (-9) TENNESSEE TITANS 10-6 New York Jets
10/09/2006 (-3) TENNESSEE TITANS 16-23 New York Jets
01/12/2003 (+1) NEW YORK JETS 24-17 Tennessee Titans
22/11/1998 (-2) TENNESSEE TITANS 3-24 New York Jets
The Verdict
Tennessee have been solid, very solid, and and you can see from their ATS stats they've been a goldmine these season in beating the line.
Of course a bit of Favre magic is always possible and we have the Jets about 31% likely to cause an upset result - meaning that the moneyline of +210 is fair.
The Pick :
New York 17-24 Tennessee
BEST BETTING TIP :
New York Jets fans may want to take a shot at the money line.
Gooner’s Statistical Value Bet
Take TENNESSEE -6 to beat that line, ifthey win ten they should cover.
