Making a prediction for this New Orleans Saints vs. Tennessee Titans matchup may appear simple after the teams’ contrasting performances last week. However, the Saints have proven this season that they can step up to the level of competition facing them, making the situation a little tougher. Let’s take a look at what to expect in this Saints at Titans matchup, make a prediction for how it might go along with the NFL odds, and look at what channel you can watch and/or where you can listen to this Week 10 game.

The Saints are a confusing team to wrap your head around this year. Victories over the Packers, Patriots, and Buccaneers would suggest they are a team capable of contending with anyone.

An encouraging sign when making a prediction for the Saints’ trip to Tennessee is their performance as underdogs this year. New Orleans is 3-0, both straight up and against the spread when considered the underdog. Those results would suggest that the Saints can play up to the level of their opponents when they need to, which is a good sign for this game.
The Titans’ five-game winning streak
A line of just 2.5 points may feel like a slight against the Titans given their performance over the past month. Tennessee is on a five-game winning streak and has covered the spread in all five of those games. In fact, the Titans are both 7-2 in overall record, and against the spread.
However, those two losses (and two failures to cover) both came when the Titans were favorites. They were embarrassed in Week 1 by the Cardinals before allowing the Jets to come back and humiliate them in Week 4. This Titans team is not immune to lapses in concentration, and we already discussed how the Saints can play up to their opponent’s level. This is a fascinating matchup.
Saints vs. Titans prediction
This game could be a back-and-forth affair. Both teams have demonstrated how good they can be on defense during this season. The big question revolves around their offenses and how they can perform following major injuries to key contributors.
The Saints’ offense struggled last week without Jameis Winston starting. They started to get it together in the second half, and another week of practice might be just what the doctor ordered.
The Titans’ offense was not tested in their first game without Derrick Henry. However, if the Saints do not simply hand Tennessee the ball in prime positions as the Rams did, they may need to find out what their offense can give them this week.
The Titans should have enough of an advantage when their defense lines up with the Saints’ offense to win this game. Nonetheless, it would not surprise me if New Orleans manages to eke out a late win either. This game could come down to who has the ball last.
Saints vs. Titans prediction: Titans 27, Saints 24
