The Bengals finally broke through the win column as they head to Tennessee in Week 4 to battle the Titans. This important AFC tilt kicks off from Nashville on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET on FOX.

Here's everything you need to know about the NFL odds for Week 4 Bengals vs. Titans: the opening lines, spreads, betting trends and more. Check back regularly for updates.

Cincinnati Bengals vs Tennessee Titans Odds

• Opening point spread: Titans -2.5
• Opening moneyline: Titans -110/Bengals -110
• Opening total: Over/Under 42 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 10:30 A.M. ET SUNDAY: This line jumped the fence early in the week at BetMGM, once it became apparent Joe Burrow would start today for Cincy. The Titans opened -1.5, and the number went to Bengals -2.5 late Monday night.

Cincinnati is currently -2.5 (-115), with ticket count almost 4/1 and money 2.5/1-plus on the Bengals.

The total opened at 42.5, bottomed out at 40.5 Thursday and is now 41.5. The Under is getting 54% of tickets/65% of money at BetMGM.

UPDATE 9 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: Cincinnati (1-2 SU/0-2-1 ATS) saw Joe Burrow shake off a calf injury to play in Week 3. The Bengals posted a 19-16 win to push as 3-point home faves against the Rams.

TwinSpires pegged Cincy 2.5-point road chalk for Week 4 and hasn't moved off that number. Ticket count is 2.5/1 and money 2/1 on the Bengals.

"The public is starting to believe in the Bengals again. Short road chalk is always popular," Lucas said.

UPDATE 10 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Tennessee (1-2 SU/2-1 ATS) was a trendy 'dog in Week 3, but failed to deliver. The Titans tumbled to the Browns 27-3 getting 3.5 points on the road.

Cincinnati (0-2 SU and ATS) hopes to get its first win when it hosts the Los Angeles Rams in a Week 2 Monday night game. Bengals QB Joe Burrow's status for that game is uncertain, and therefore it's uncertain if he'll play against the Titans, either.

But The SuperBook went ahead and posted Bengals-Titans in its NFL odds Week 4 market.

"Obviously, this spread is completely dependent on Joe Burrow's health," Michaelson said. "We opened on the high end, anticipating that Burrow does not play. It could close Titans higher or Cincinnati could close the favorite. He's a pretty important player."

The line and total are both stable tonight.

Bengals vs Titans Pick, Prediction

Action Network NFL betting expert Brandon Anderson offers this prediction:

Monday night sure wasn't pretty, but a win is a win. This game could set up a similar script, with the Titans offensive line even worse than the Rams, and Tennessee's pass defense just as beatable.

Burrow doesn't look great, but trust the rest of the roster. Trey Hendrickson and the defensive front won the game Monday night and can do it again here, and Burrow should be able to get the ball out to Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, and just let the team outplay the Titans with pure talent.

I don't expect to enjoy this bet in what will likely be an ugly, low-scoring game, but I'm trusting the much better Bengals roster to get the job done. Cincinnati is 0-3 ATS, which makes this a buy-low spot. Teams that are 20% ATS or worse facing opponents at 60% ATS or better are 86-47-3 ATS from October forward (65%). Trust Burrow and the more talented team to find a way to earn a much needed win.

Pick: Bengals -2.5 (-110)
