Green Bay Packers vs. Tennessee Titans point spread and game preview

There were plenty of "stars" at the beginning of the regular season, but the Tennessee Titians (7-0) remain the only team in the NFL with a perfect record so far. As we have learned from the Patriots, a perfect season means nothing at the end, but fans and bettors alike are still excited to see how far the Titans will go without losing a game. And on Sunday the Tennessee Titans will be challenged by the visiting Green Bay Packers (4-3), who can definitely put up a fight, although the odds makers are far from making them favorite.

At the online sports betting website Bookmaker the odds on the Green Bay Packers to put an end to the Titans' winning streak are not good, at underdog +170, while Tennessee will be a favorite one more time, listed with odds to make it 8-0 at -200 with the sportsbook. The Green Bay Packers vs. Tennessee Titans point spread is currently at -4.5 points chalk the Titans with the total listed by the bookie at 40.5 points. Betting trends on the two NFL franchises show that Green Bay is 10-3 against the spread in its last 13 games on the road, but Tennessee is 5-0 against the spread in its last 5 games overall and 4-1 against the spread in its last 5 games at home. Also keep in mind that the total has gone OVER in 4 of the Titans last 5 games and in 6 of Green Bay's last 8 games on the road.

Not much trouble at the Tennessee camp this week, linebacker Colin Allred, cornerback Chris Carr and defensive end William Hayes missed Thursday practice, but the rest of the teams is in good health. Meanwhile Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers' performance for Sunday's game is still questionable, after a limited Thursday practice with a sprained right shoulder. The Packers bye week obviously did not help linebacker Desmond Bishop, who missed Thursday practice, nursing hamstring injury. Green Bay Packers defensive end Jason Hunter and linebacker Danny Lansanah, however, managed to recover from their hamstring injuries and did a full one yesterday.
