The Baltimore Ravens host the Tennessee Titans as heavy favorites (spread: −11.5 points) in NFL Week 4. Bookmaker odds imply a win probability of approximately 83% for Baltimore. Tennessee enters at 0-3 after Week 3 — a 7-12 loss to the New York Giants was particularly concerning — making them one of the weakest teams in the AFC. Baltimore, led by Lamar Jackson, is an AFC title contender with one of the league's strongest offenses. Historically, NFL home teams favored by 10-14 points win their games approximately 82-85% of the time.
