SBG Global Opening Line: Titans  -  11  ,  Total  44

 

The Tennessee Titans will try and rebound from their first loss of the season as they take on the winless Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving.  The Lions could become the first team in NFL history to go 0-16, a prospect that looks more realistic each week. “No one is quitting, but we don’t know how to win,” said Lions defensive tackle Shaun Cody. SBG Global reports that early NFL betting has the public taking Lions at Home.

 

The Titans suffered their first loss of the season last week to the New York Jets 34-13 in a game they were totally outplayed in.  The Titans still hold a three game lead in their division over Indianapolis and a two game lead over the rest of the AFC for home field advantage in the playoffs. “We are still in the driver’s seat, and everybody else is playing catch-up,” linebacker Keith Bulluck said.

 

Detroit has rarely come close to victory this season and may have a tough time on Thursday against the Titans.  They are 3-6 all-time against Tennessee.  The Titans should be able to run the ball against a Detroit defense that is the worst in the NFL, allowing 166.7 yards per game. Chris Johnson is the AFC’s second leading rusher with 833 yards.

 

The Lions are 33-33-2 all-time on Thanksgiving Day.  They have lost their last four games on Thanksgiving, getting outscored by a margin of 132-52.
