Dominique Edison caught two touchdown passes to help the Titans beat the Green Packers 27- 13 in their final preseason game on Thursday, cashing in for BetUS NFL sports betting members as 3.5-point home favorites while the final score played Over the 37.5-point O/U total.

The Steelers handed the Carolina Panthers their fourth consecutive preseason loss in their 21-10 victory on Thursday, cashing in for NFL sports betting fanatics everywhere as 3.5-point road underdogs while the game’s 31 total points played Under the 33.5-point Over/Under total.

Analysis: I know the Pittsburgh Steelers are playing at home in this season-opening contest and have gone a spotless 4-0 ATS in their last four Week 1 games, not to mention posting a perfect 5-0 ATS in their last five home games, but I firmly like the Tennessee Titans, who went a respectable 3-2 SU and 2-2-1 ATS this preseason, to cover the spread in this contest while pushing the Steelers, who have gone a stellar 3-1 SU and ATS this postseason, for the outright win despite being on the road.

The Titans are clearly one of the top AFC title contenders entering the 2009 season and have historically been very good in the month of September, going a perfect 8-0 ATS in their last eight Septembers games. Tennessee has also covered the spread in seven consecutive games as an underdog of 3.5-10 points and has a veteran quarterback that knows how to not turn the ball over while managing the game for the Titans masterfully.

While the Steelers have gone 4-0 ATS in their last four Thursday games and a blistering 6-1 ATS in their last seven games against AFC opponents, the Titans haven’t exactly been chopped liver against the spread, going a bankroll-boosting 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games as an underdog and an impressive 6-2 ATS in their last 8 road games. I also like the fact that the Underdog has gone 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings between these two teams.

While the Over has gone a spotless 7- 0 in Pittsburgh’s last seven Week 1 Games and 6- 1 in the last seven meetings between these two teams, I like the Under as it has gone a blistering 8- 2 in Tennessee’s last 10 road games.

I like the Tennessee Titans to cover the spread in an absolute thriller BetUS NFL sports betting aficionados.
