The Seattle Seahawks and the Tennessee Titans meet Saturday in NFL preseason action from Nissan Stadium. Here’s a Tennessee Titans vs Seattle Seahawks prediction. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best Titans vs Seahawks pick.
Seattle Seahawks Betting Preview
The Seahawks are coming off a tough campaign in 2023, posting a 9-8 overall record. Seattle got off to a 5-2 start then stumbled down the stretch as they eventually landed in third place among the NFC West. The Seahawks have missed the playoffs in two of the last three seasons.
In their first preseason action of the 2024 campaign, the Seahawks were able to topple the Los Angeles Chargers 16-3. QB Sam Howell did most of the passing work in the victory, tossing for 130 yards and a score to Brady Russell. Kenny McIntosh led the running game with 40 yards on eight totes.
Tennessee Titans Betting Preview
Over on the Titans’ side, they regressed in 2023, going 6-11 overall (one fewer win than 2022). Tennessee ended up in last place among the AFC South, which would ultimately lead to the firing of head coach Mike Vrabel.
The new-look Titans were able to get a victory in their first preseason game of 2024, taking out the San Francisco 49ers 17-13. Mason Rudolph went 10-of-17 for 126 yards while Malik Willis led the rush on 42 yards from four carries. Julius Chestnut caught two balls for 37 yards to top the receivers.

Tennessee Titans vs Seattle Seahawks Prediction
I might try the Titans in this one. Sure, one opening preseason game means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme, but Tennessee played pretty well overall in their win over the Niners. The Titans would ultimately post 336 total yards (198 passing), 19 first downs and 9-of-17 on third-down tries.
Tennessee is obviously in a rebuilding phase right now. That said, there’s plenty of reason for optimism here. The offensive line should take a big step forward after ranking 29th in pressure rate and 31st in adjusted sack rate last year. There are still some question marks on how well this team can move the ball, but I think they’re deep enough to power out a cover in preseason week two.
