Chargers vs Titans Pick, Prediction

Action Network NFL betting expert Brandon Anderson offers this prediction:

The Chargers showed off a great rushing attack under new OC Kellen Moore in the opener, but the Titans led the league in run defense DVOA last season. Tennessee also ranked 28th against the pass, and the Titans are missing CB Kristian Fuller and S Amani Hooker, so this should set up for a big game for Justin Herbert.

The underdog formula sets up well. The Chargers struggle against the run. Hand the ball off to Derrick Henry all game, keep it close, and let Mike Vrabel work his magic as a great home underdog (60% ATS). Play the spread, not the moneyline, in case the Titans lose another close one.

Pick: Titans +2.5 (-105)
