There is good news and bad news for the Tennessee Titans.
The bad news is that their season is on life support. They lost their lead in AFC South and will have to try to win the division in the final weeks with their replacement quarterback, Malik Willis.
The good news is that their Week 17 game against the Dallas Cowboys is meaningless. Win or lose, they will face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 18 and the division crown will be awarded to the winner.
That being said, I’m sure they would love to beat a top contender, the Cowboys, and head into Week 18 with some momentum. They have a big mountain to climb if they want to get there. Let’s dive into betting odds.

Cowboys vs. Titans – Prediction & Picks
You can’t convince me to bet on the Titans to cover that gap with Malik Willis at quarterback. The rookie has had a tough 2022 campaign and now he has to face one of the best defenses in the league.
Willis has completed just 50.8 percent of passes and has no touchdown throws for three interceptions. He threw for just 99 yards and two interceptions in the Titans’ game against the lowly Houston Texans last week, giving them their second win of the season.
He’ll have a hard time dealing with a Cowboys defense that ranks in the top 10 in just about every stat out there.
If there’s a way for the Titans to stay in this game, it’s to lean on Derrick Henry. The main weakness of the Cowboys’ defense is their ability to stop the run, where they rank 20th in the number of opposing yards per carry.
Even if that’s the case, I can’t envision that being enough to keep pace with the Cowboys, especially considering that Dallas defensive coordinator Dan Quinn is likely going to stack the box with Willis presenting little. of threat with the passing game.
Another thing to consider is that the Titans’ defense has gotten 7.5 yards per pass attempt in their last three games, which is one of the league’s worst ratings. Dak Prescott will have a big game and the Titans won’t be able to keep up.
I’m backing the Cowboys for an easy win Thursday night.
