Saints 21, Titans 18
The SAINTS (-145) have been red hot lately (though both of these teams are playing their best football of the season in December). Things are looking up for both teams heading into the offseason, especially with both currently slotted in the top 10 of the 2026 NFL Draft to give these teams an added boost.
The Saints have won 3 in a row while the Titans have won 2 of the past 3 outings. While the records aren’t impressive, this could be one of the better games of Week 17.
The SAINTS -2.5 (-110) are the lean but go with a half-unit play at most.
New Orleans has covered in 4 in a row and is 5-1 ATS in its past 6 games. Tennessee is 2-1 ATS in the past 3 and 5-2 over its previous 7 games. Don’t get crazy on New Orleans as the Saints are middle of the road against the run, allowing 1,893 rushing yards and 4.1 yards per carry (YPC). Pollard has 3 straight 100-yard games and if anybody on the Titans is going to ruin your bet, it’s him.
UNDER 39.5 (-110) is also worth playing lighting, with a half-unit bet at best.
While the Under is 3-1 in the past 4 home games for the Titans, the Over is 4-0 in 4 games against the NFC this season, so be careful.
The Under is 9-1-1 in the past 11 games for the Saints and that’s an awfully strong trend — and evidence we’ll get another low total.
