- Matt LaFleur +350
What Caused The Jump?
While there is no taking away what Zac Taylor has done as the Cincinnati Bengals coach this season, Mike Vrabel has done the impossible and clinched the top-seed in the AFC despite losing their best player.
In Week 8 of the season, the Titans were sitting with a 6-2 record while Derrick Henry was the leading running back in the league across every category. However, Henry suffered a foot injury which forced him to miss the rest of the season. In the nine remaining games the Titans had in the regular season, they finished an impressive 6-3 without their superstar.
While Zac Taylor improved the Bengals record from 4-11 to 10-7, he did this with a fully healthy team. Many were quick to count the Titans out after losing their star and they proved every doubter wrong.
With that, Vrabel’s odds offer tremendous value and should be taken before the odds are pulled.
