The Cincinnati Bengals erased 31 years of bad memories last week by winning their first postseason game since 1991. Cincinnati’s reward is traveling to the AFC’s No. 1 seed, the Tennessee Titans, on Saturday in the 2022 NFL playoffs. Coming off a bye, the Titans will be well-rested and could also have the services of star running back Derrick Henry for the first time since Week 8. Cincinnati and the Oilers/Titans franchise have met once before in the postseason, the Bengals’ playoff win from 1991. You can stream the game on Paramount+.
Kickoff is set for 4:30 p.m. ET from Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn.

AFC Wild Card picks for Bengals vs. Titans
Before you tune in to Saturday’s Titans vs. Bengals game, you need to see the NFL picks from SportsLine’s advanced computer model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up over $7,500 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception six-plus years ago. The model enters the divisional round of the 2021 NFL playoffs on an incredible 137-97 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. Amazingly, it hasn’t missed a top-rated pick since Week 14 of the regular season.
The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past five years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94 percent of CBS Sports Football Pick’em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.
For Titans vs. Bengals, the model is backing Cincinnati (+3.5) to stay within the spread on the road. Cincinnati’s Wild Card win over the Raiders marked its fifth straight victory against the spread, and the team is 6-2 against the number over its last eight games. Meanwhile, the Titans were more impressive straight-up than against the spread down the stretch. The team went just 3-4 ATS over its last seven games.
While the model has factored in Henry’s return, it would be unreasonable to expect him to receive a full load coming off injury. After he averaged nearly 30 touches per game through eight regular season games, SportsLine’s model doesn’t have him topping 20 on Saturday.
With the Bengals having the edge in the passing game, Cincinnati is projected to stick within a field goal of the Titans. While Tennessee is projected to win straight-up, the Bengals (+3.5) are able to cover over 50 percent of the time. The model also projects the Over to hit in well over 50 percent of simulations.
