It’s the slow season of the sports calendar, but at least we’re closer to this NFL campaign kicking off. To help speed up the timeline, we have our daily NFL betting reports. We’ll be highlighting the betting action for individual teams in four Hustles per week, sorting them out by division.
We finish up the AFC South today with the Titans.

PERUSING THE PLAYERS
Derrick Henry is one of four running backs to have received at least one bet for NFL MVP, along with Christian McCaffrey, Saquon Barkley and Breece Hall. Henry has the second-lowest MVP odds among all tailbacks at +12500, as only McCaffrey has Tennessee’s bruiser beat at +7000.
The Titans are the rumored favorite to sign DeAndre Hopkins. We asked our trading team how Tennessee’s futures odds would change if they ended up landing the wideout.
“Don’t expect an aging Hopkins to impact futures prices too much given how previous WR signings have reflected in the market. They still have major offensive weaknesses at OL and with QB play. We’d either move their Super Bowl odds slightly to +14000 or stay put at +15000, lower their division odds to +350 just because the AFC South is so weak and keep their win total at 7.5.”
