Point Spread: Ravens Favored Over Titans in Week 6 Showdown in London

The Tennessee Titans are underdogs again this week, and that's a common thread to this 2023 NFL season. They are 6-point underdogs in their Sunday morning showdown in London with the Baltimore Ravens, and it's the fifth time in six week that they've been picked to lose.

The point spread is according to the DraftKings.com gambling website, and the number has been creeping up all week. It started at 4.5 points and was 5.5 on Saturday, but with most of the action coming in on the Ravens, it's gone up even more on Sunday morning. The over/under is 42.5.

The Titans have won straight up twice as underdogs, but both of those wins came inside the friendly confines of Nissan Stadium in Nashville. On the road, they are 0-3 overall and have scored just one touchdown in those three games. This is technically a Titans home game in London, but it feels very much like a game far away from their comfort level.

The Titans were favored over Indianapolis a week ago, but lost 23-16 in a game where they could not stop the run — allowing 193 rushing yards — and once again failed to score touchdowns in the red zone

The common thread in the gambling numbers between the two combatants on Sunday? Both teams tend to play low-scoring games. Here's what both teams have done against the point spread this season:
