The Titans are favored to win this game by three points. The over/under on total points scored is 51.5.
The Cardinals played only two preseason games and Murray saw limited action, so expect him to deal with some rust in this game. Their defense will have their hands full with Tennessee’s offense, with Jones and Henry creating matchup problems, so go with the Titans to get the win.
