Titans vs Cardinals Guest Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick
ARI Cardinals -7.5(-110)

Heading into Week 5 of the 2025 NFL season, only three teams have not picked up a win. Both the Jets and Saints return home at 0-4, while the Titans try to get their first victory on the road with a trip to Arizona on Sunday. Tennessee has not scored a touchdown in 2 road losses at Denver and Houston. In last week’s 26-0 shutout defeat to the Texans, the Titans trailed 6-0 headed to the 4th quarter before Houston outscored Tennessee 20-0 in the final 15 minutes. Tennessee’s offense mustered 155 yards, while top NFL draft pick Cam Ward has busted 175 passing yards once in four games.

Arizona jumped out to a 2-0 start with victories over New Orleans and Carolina, who are a combined 1-7. The 2 losses for the Cardinals came on the final play of the game to a pair of division rivals, San Francisco and Seattle. The Cardinals are the only team in the NFC West with multiple division losses, but can still jump above .500 by beating the Titans. Arizona fell in a 20-6 hole last Thursday night against Seattle before rallying with a pair of TDs in the final six minutes to tie the game at 20-20. Following a poor kickoff, the Seahawks were able to drive into field goal range and kick the game-winner, condemning the Cardinals to their 5th division loss in the last 6 tries.

Since the start of the 2024 season, the Titans have stumbled to a disastrous 3-19 ATS record, but all 3 covers came on the road.  Tennessee is 1 of 2 teams in the NFL averaging less than 210.5 yards a game. The only team worse is the Bengals, who are compiling 205.3 yards a game. The Cardinals put together a 4-1 record against AFC foes last season, including a pair of double-digit victories at home against the Jets and Patriots. I’m expecting them to bounce back from last week’s disappointment and to smoothly dismantle the Titans following extended prep time.

Game Totals Pick
Under 41.5(-110)

It’s no surprise that this total sits at 41.5, considering Tennessee’s inept offense through 4 games. Breaking it down to the core, the Titans have scored a total of 3 TDs this season. Two of those trips to the end zone came on 2 separate occasions against Indianapolis in Week 3 when trailing by 21 points. Tennessee failed to light up the scoreboard in last Sunday’s 26-0 loss at Houston, marking the 2nd Under in 2 road games. In both contests played in Nashville against the Rams and Colts, the Over cashed easily.

The Cardinals have gone Under the total in 3 of 4 games, but have not seen a total this low. In the 3 games that finished Under, the total closed between 44 and 44.5. Arizona slowed down Seattle last Thursday, holding the Seahawks to 23 points after a pair of wins scoring 31 and 44 points. Something has to give here as both teams rank in the bottom 5 of the NFL in yards per game, but each club sits in the bottom 10 of the league in yards allowed per game.

Cardinals’ QB Kyler Murray has yet to throw for more than 220 yards in a game this season, as he posted 200 passing yards on 27 completions in the loss to Seattle. In 3 of 4 games this season, the Titans have limited opposing QBs to throw for 233 yards or less. In the last 3 games, Arizona’s pass defense has yielded 328 passing yards to Carolina’s Bryce Young, 284 yards to San Francisco’s Mac Jones and 242 yards to Seattle’s Sam Darnold. However, 133 of those yards from Young came in the 4th quarter with Carolina trailing, 27-9. It’s hard to make a convincing argument for a high-scoring game, especially with Tennessee racking up 12 total points in 2 road losses.
