    This means the casino has more respect for us opening the line at 30:1 than the general public has. Since we are getting no takers at those odds, the public has pushed our odds even higher.

    This further expresses my view that we have a decent team, with about a 50/50 shot at making the playoffs at best, but have almost a 0% chance of making the Superbowl, much less winning it.

    For all the people here who disagree, simply put your money where your mouth is. There are plenty of casinos who will gladly take your $ on any prop bets you'd like to back the Titans on. It saddens me to admit it because I'm just as big of a fan as you, but I also watch them play with as unbiased of an eye as I can. And, they are just simply not a team who can compete at the highest level.

    Everyone here recalls the Titans v Giants game of 06. Vince making them look absolutely foolish in the last quarter. The Giants were a slightly better than mediocre team by all acounts, they were losing their offensive star at the end of the season and the coach would be fired.. Then in 07....

    Anything can happen..

    I'd bet on the Titans to make the playoffs, but not to win the superbowl.

    It is really interesting though that our odds have gone up so much. Public support for the team(nationally) is really low. Although, I kind of like it that we're a home-town team.

    Good article. I agree. This team is loved most in middle Tennessee, Austin, Texas and a few old oiler fans around the nation. Sorry but people in East Tennessee either hate the NFL or cheer for the Colts for obvious reasons. There are even people calling in to our sports radio shows wanting updates from Jets practice...... The others over here fall into that group of middle age white people who like the Skins, Steerlers or Cowboys. These people fill sports bars on Sundays and are annoying to no end. Anyone ever notice Skins fans from places other than the DC area are kind of..... pwt.

    until we get to at least the afc championship game or somehow create a high flying offense, the disrespect will probably continue.

    It's definitely Bulluck in the picture. Not only does it look like him, the guy in the picture has a captain's patch on. Bulluck for sure.

    Edit: I see they changed it. It was originally Bulluck but the caption said it was Haynesworth.
