It's the fourth 5-plus game streak for the Titans over the last 20 years (‘22, ‘21, ‘08, ‘06).
+ Titans are 5-2 SU/ATS and big dogs this week. Only one other team has won and covered 70%+ of their games and been listed as this big of an underdog in October or later over the last 20 years, and that was the Chargers in the 2007-08 playoffs, +14 against the Patriots (L, 21-12).
