I am fascinated by gambling lines. I don't gamble because I would lose everything I own if I did, but those guys in Vegas are pretty smart. There is a reason they have all of those big, beautiful buildings, and it isn't because they lose a lot.
The early line for the Titans game this week against the 49ers is San Fran -4. If I were a gambling man, I would be all over the 9ers at that number. The Titans haven't given me any reason to think that they can stay within 4 of the defending NFC Champs with Ryan Fitzpatrick under center.
The more interesting part of that line is that it opened 49ers -6. That means some money has come in on the Titans. Why? Your thoughts welcome in the comments.
