What time is Jets vs Titans, and what channel?
Sunday, September 13 at 1 p.m. ET on CBS, carried regionally, with streaming on Paramount Plus. Out of market viewers need NFL Sunday Ticket.
The matchup
At 38.5 this is the lowest total of the week by two full points, and 12 points below the highest. The market expects two offenses that will struggle to move the ball and a game decided in the teens.
The spread is nearly as tight as Bills at Texans, with Tennessee laying only 1.5 at home. A short spread attached to a very low total means small margins: a single turnover or special teams play is likely to decide it.
Prediction and odds
Under 38.5, ahead of either side. When the market prices a game this low it usually has good reason, and Week 1 offenses tend to be behind Week 1 defenses. On the side, Tennessee at home is the modest lean but it is close to a coin flip.
Our pick: Titans 19, Jets 16.
The bottom line
The lowest scoring game the market expects all weekend, with a spread short enough that either team can win it. One for the under, not for the highlight reel.
