Houston Texans vs Tennessee Titans Prediction

I’m on the Texans here. I was leaning towards the under as well, but I just can’t expect the Titans to keep this one within reach with inflated defensive numbers as a team and the fact that the Texans have found their ground game in a big way in recent weeks. Tennessee just doesn’t have what it takes to hang with the Texans and I expect Houston to win this one by a fair margin. Give me Houston.
