Tennessee Titans vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFL odds, picks, line and spread – August 21 | NFL preseason 2021

We could be in for a fiery encounter when the Tennessee Titans face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday night at Raymond James Stadium.

The two NFL teams had some joint practices this week with the final session featuring a series of fights between the players. Bucs veteran Antonio Brown landed a heavy punch on Titans cornerback Chris Jackson after ripping off his helmet. Brown was subsequently thrown out of practice. He later returned after cooling down but that was just the start.

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel had to get involved at one point to break up another fight.

Usually, preseason games are relatively calm affairs, but Saturday night's clash in Tampa could provide some fireworks.

The Titans won their first game of the preseason against the Atlanta Falcons relatively easily (23-3) and will want to build on that momentum. Meanwhile, the Super Bowl champion Bucs lost to the Cincinnati Bengals at home last weekend 19-14.

Bucs head coach Bruce Arians will be expecting a better effort from his team this Saturday. He may be tempted to keep his starters in longer to produce the win he's looking for.

Here's a look at the betting odds for the two teams' second preseason game of 2021.
