Tennessee Titans vs New Orleans Saints NFL Preview: Team news, betting, tickets, live stream, Fantasy Football and more

The New Orleans Saints head to Nashville on Sunday afternoon with plenty of momentum, aiming to extend their hot streak to four straight victories against the Tennessee Titans.

New Orleans has quietly turned things around after a tough 21–17 loss to Miami back on November 30, a game they nearly stole late. Since then, December has been kind to the Saints, who have strung together three wins in a row. That run includes victories over two NFC South contenders and a convincing 29–6 send-off at the Caesars Superdome against the New York Jets to close out their 2025 home slate.

Tennessee, meanwhile, has been far more inconsistent. The Titans have dropped eight of their last 10 games overall, though they did manage a surprising upset of the Kansas City Chiefs last week. That win was sandwiched between losses to San Francisco and an upcoming matchup with Jacksonville, underscoring the up-and-down nature of their season.

Titans vs Saints Fantasy Football

Tyler Shough delivered a steady, confident performance in New Orleans’ 29-6 dismantling of the Jets, completing 32 of 49 passes for 308 yards and a touchdown while adding eight yards on the ground. More importantly, he’s begun to look like a stabilizing force for the Saints. New Orleans has now rattled off three straight wins with Shough under center, and during that stretch he’s accounted for four total touchdowns with just one interception. With the Titans up next, he’s shaping up as an intriguing streaming option.

That recent surge has been a huge boost for Chris Olave, who currently sits as the WR6 on the season. Written off earlier in the year due to a sluggish offense and multiple concussion scares, Olave has roared back into fantasy relevance. Shough has shown a surprising level of comfort running the offense and has clearly developed chemistry with the fourth-year wideout, helping unlock the version of Olave managers were hoping to see all along.

On the other side, Cam Ward has been tough to trust in standard one-quarterback formats for much of his rookie campaign, but the arrow is finally pointing up. He’s now thrown two touchdown passes in three consecutive games and looked especially sharp against Kansas City, tossing for 228 yards while averaging a season-best 8.1 yards per attempt. Ward draws New Orleans next, and while the Saints defense is better than it gets credit for, he’s at least on the radar in deep 1-QB leagues and remains a viable play in Superflex formats.

Meanwhile, Tony Pollard quietly put together one of his most impressive rushing performances of the season in Week 16. He carried the ball 21 times for 102 yards against the Chiefs, generating a season-high 101 yards after contact, the most Kansas City has allowed to any running back this year. Pollard also forced eight missed tackles that turned into 41 extra yards, though a touchdown was wiped out by a penalty and a fumble marred the box score. Even so, his workload has been rock solid, averaging 20 touches per game over the past three weeks, and with contract incentives in sight, including 1,110 rushing yards and seven touchdowns, Pollard has plenty of motivation to finish the season strong.

Titans vs Saints Game Predictions

New Orleans is clearly hitting its stride at the right time. The Saints have rattled off three straight wins and outscored opponents by 30 points during that stretch, while their defense has quietly been the backbone of the surge. Over the last six games, this group has clamped down, surrendering fewer than 16 points per contest and consistently putting the offense in favorable spots.

Tennessee has flashed some fight recently, but consistency has been hard to come by, and the overall talent gap still shows. With New Orleans bringing the more complete roster and sharper coaching approach into this matchup, the Saints look well-positioned to stay in control.

Prediction: New Orleans keeps the momentum rolling and grinds out a road win, making it four straight victories—Saints 24, Titans 17.
