Titans vs. Bengals 2014 picks and predictions: Tennessee eyes big upset in Cincinnati

Are any NFL experts throughout the media giving the Tennessee Titans a chance in Week 3?

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

It's not a secret that the Cincinnati Bengals are overwhelming favorites against the visiting Tennessee Titans. The folks over at OddsShark are giving the home squad a seven-point advantage.

After dismantling the Kansas City Chiefs, 26-10 in Week 1, the Titans were at the wrong end of the same score at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys seven days later. The appropriate question here is: Who is Tennessee?

The third week will provide a sound gauge of where they stand. The AFC South is anyone’s division this season, and the Titans need to prove themselves against a quality team.

The Bengals bring a potent offense and ball-hawking defense to the table to assist in giving them the touchdown-sized advantage. They have every reason to make good on what the forecasts suggest.

Both of Yahoo Sports’ analysts have the Bengals coming out on top. ESPN’s 14 experts unanimously side with Cincinnati as well, while CBS Sports’ crew completes the landslide to give the Bengals a convincing edge.

SB Nation's team is no different, giving Andy Dalton & Co. their vote of confidence. Except for PFT Commenter, whose contrarian world view is the rule rather than the exception when it comes to these matters:
