Latest Titans Odds Movement
Let’s backtrack before Hopkins signed in the Music City, as we’ve been monitoring the rumor mill since late May. When Hopkins was first projected to head to New England, the Titans were set as high as +425 among AFC South odds. But once Tennessee heightened its offer for the five-time Pro Bowler, the betting market reacted by shrinking those odds to +380.
With Hopkins officially joining Mike Vrabel’s team, BetMGM has Titans division futures at +350. Nevertheless, the Jaguars have remained odds-on favorites (-155) throughout this timeframe. There are also betting odds on whether the team will finish top two in the AFC South.
Tennessee’s win total did not change. It is still listed at /.
As for Week 1 odds, Tennessee was even bet down to +3 at New Orleans. For context, Ryan Tannehill & Co. were initially 3.5-point road dogs against the Saints. That contest will feature Derek Carr making his regular season debut with New Orleans after spending his first nine years with the Raiders.

DeAndre Hopkins Props
If you’d rather bet Hopkins season-long player props instead of Titans odds, the best number for Hopkins to go over his receiving yards total is /. His touchdown prop is priced at /. Meanwhile, Hopkins’ teammate Treylon Burks saw his receiving yards prop dip to /.
Tennessee is hoping it bolstered its offensive line with Northwestern guard/tackle Peter Skoronski in the draft, as well as reeling in free-agent signees Andre Dillard from the Eagles and Daniel Brunskill from the 49ers. Those moves are especially notable with right tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere receiving a six-game suspension for violating the NFL’s policy on gambling in league-owned work spaces. Hence, the Titans don’t appear to be giving Tannehill a short leash — with second-rounder Will Levis waiting in the wings — unless things catch fire early.
With that in mind, there may be more dropback attempts to feed both Hopkins and Burks’ overs. However, Tennessee isn’t necessarily expected to shift away from Derrick Henry and its sixth-ranked rushing percentage, either.
