(*)Under (44*/42.5) – ARIZONA vs Tennessee

Lean – Tennessee (-3)

Contrary to his collegiate days at Oregon, Marcus Mariota is now at the helm of a Titans offense with the slowest pace in the league after filtering out garbage time. Tennessee is running 2.7 plays per game fewer than league average (27th). I expect the Titans to continue taking their time between plays especially on the road where it can be more tedious to make adjustments at the line of scrimmage.

Arizona’s ground game has basically been nonexistent without left tackle D.J. Humphries in the lineup as the Cardinals are nearly a point worse per game running the football in the seven games he’s missed. I expect Arizona’s running attack, averaging only 3.2 ypr for the season) to be completely stifled against a Titans rush defense ranked 5th in my metrics. Blaine Gabbert is still a below average quarterback even with future Hall-of-Famer Larry Fitzgerald to throw to and he won’t be enough to get the Cardinals’ offense moving consistently with no rushing attack.

Our model projects just 40 total points in this game, which is enough value to make the Under a 1-Star Best Bet at 43.5 points or higher (Strong Opinion at 43).

Note: The Under was released as a Best Bet at Under 44 points earlier in the week but that play is now out of Best Bet range.
