I originally didn’t think I would have an interest in this early start from London, but the more I look, the more I like the Titans. Tossing out the no-show in last week’s 21-0 loss to the Ravens, the rest of the Titans’ games have come down to one score, and I expect their No. 8 defense to keep them in this game, too.

The Chargers seem to have overcome their previous issues of covering as road faves with wins at Buffalo and Cleveland this year, but let’s not get too carried away, as those were against the Bills and Browns. The Titans are better than either of those (and hopefully the trip across the pond also levels the playing field more than it did in last week’s Seahawks-Raiders game).

The play: Titans, +6¹/₂.
