The Atlanta Falcons came back down to life in Week 6 thanks to a 31-21 loss to division rival New Orleans, but still own a 5-1 SU and 4-2 ATS record heading into their Week 7 clash with the Tennessee Titans. The Titans (1-4 SU, 2-3 ATS) have shown some promise under rookie signal caller Marcus Mariota but haven’t been getting the job done when it comes to collecting W’s.
Titans head coach Ken Whisenhunt has historically been on a less than inspiring run as well. In his last 33 games, Whisenhunt’s teams are a paltry 4-29 SU. The confines of Nissan Stadium haven’t been particularly friendly to the Titans as of late, as the team is just 2-14-1 ATS in its last 17 home games.
Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota will miss the game due to suffering an MCL strain last week against the Dolphins. Zach Mettenberger will start in his place.
The Falcons own the fourth best offense in the league thanks to a plethora of weapons but haven’t been as solid on the defensive side of the ball, sitting at a more mediocre 19th in the NFL in total defense
