How To Bet on San Diego vs Tennessee Preseason Week 1 Expert Pick and Game Info

When: Preseason Week 1 – Saturday, August 13, 2016 Where: Nissan Stadium in Nashville, TN TV: NFL Network Radio: San Diego / Tennessee Stream Option: NFL.com Odds: Titans at -3

Why Bet on the Titans?

The Tennessee Titans really have nowhere to go but up this season, right? The Titans are led by head coach Mike Mularkey. He uses Dick LeBeau as defensive coordinator, with offense anchored by Terry Robiske. The Titans are hoping for a monster season from their second year quarterback Marcus Mariota. If Mariota struggles, the combination of Matt Cassell and Alex Tanney are behind. The running back situation for the Titans starts with DeMarco Murray, but don’t sleep on rookie Derek Henry. Finally, the Titans defense improved in the off-season, at least on paper. The Titans added right outside linebacker, who spent a ton of time with the Washington Redskins, in Brian Orakpo.

Why Bet on the Chargers?

The San Diego Chargers added center Matt Slauson from the San Francisco 49ers, and that’s how they start looking to keep quarterback Phillip Rivers up on his feet. The Chargers wide receiving core took a huge blow early in training camp, as Stevie Johnson will miss the entire season. The Chargers still have the speedster in Keenan Allen, and they added Travis Benjamin, but after that, who will catch passes? San Diego is seeking a better second season out of running back Melvin Gordon. In his rookie season out of Wisconsin, he was very disappointing. The Chargers added Dwight Lowery to their defense, along with the addition of Brandon Flowers from San Francisco.

My Expert Pick & Prediction

On Saturday night, the San Diego Chargers are on the road, but will win this game. The Chargers are going to want to see a little out of Phillip Rivers, and the Chargers defense will make sure they are ready to start the season. The Tennessee Titans are a team that will have several holes all over their roster. Look for the veteran team of San Diego to get this win. This game is in Nashville, but look for the road team to find a way to win this game. The bet for Saturday night in the National Football League; is the San Diego Chargers +2.5 in the preseason game 1. The final score prediction is Chargers 31 and Titans 24.
