Houston Texans vs. Tennessee Titans Prediction

I’m on the under in this one. The last couple of meetings have just been prime examples of offensive futility and I look for more of the same here as not much has changed between those two since then. And I think this is a prime under spot in a 17-10 kind of game. Give me the under.
