Titans vs Texans Prediction
Both teams were tied 1-1 wins last season, with each one winning on the road. Texans won in Tennessee by 23-14 and the Titans in Houston by 32-27. The Texans are 4-1 in their last 5 meetings against the Titans, and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 meetings. The Titans are 4-1 in their last 5 visits in Houston.
In this Titans vs Texans Prediction, the Texans are coming as -7-point home favorites, with the total set at 38.5 points. Both offenses have been terrible this season, as both teams score 29.7 points per game, with the Texans having the worst offense in the NFL. Houston also boasts the 5th-best defense, allowing just 17 points per game, so I expect a low-scoring grind between two struggling teams looking for their first win of the season. Take the under 38.5 points in this one.
