The Tennessee Titans have had a polarizing offseason thus far. If you’re on the optimistic side of things, you probably think the Titans made plenty of upgrades to a team that was 7-3 before being ravaged by injuries.
However, if you happen to find yourself on the pessimistic/skeptical side, the majority of these moves probably haven’t moved the needle very much when it comes to your 2023 expectations.
Bet Online certainly appears to lean toward the latter, as they opened the Titans’ projected win total at just 7.5 games, two games lower than their betting line in each of the last few seasons.
Tennessee is one of seven teams that opened at 7.5 games, the fourth-lowest opening odds in the league.
Vikings: 8.5
Broncos: 8.5
Panthers: 7.5
Rams: 7.5
Raiders: 7.5
Bears: 7.5
Falcons: 7.5
Patriots: 7.5
Titans: 7.5
Commanders: 7.5
Packers: 7
Colts: 6.5
Buccaneers: 6.5
Cardinals: 5.5
Texans: 5.5— Jaime Eisner (@JaimeEisner) March 27, 2023
Fortunately, outside of last year’s disaster, the Titans have consistently been a team that far exceeds expectations under Mike Vrabel. If the Titans are going to get back to that reputation of always being competitive, the former Coach of the Year will probably have to have one of the best years of his career.
