Houston Texans +3 (-135) over TENNESSEE TITANS
The Texans looked horrible last game. They had a huge let down after they beat the Patriots. Their pass defense is horrible. Actually, their entire defense is bad as they rank 30th in DVOA. We’re still picking them to cover — and maybe even win.
The Titans look like one of the best teams in the NFL since Ryan Tannehill took over. No one wants to tackle Derrick Henry. The Tennessee defense has been good all year.
We are still going with the Texans for a few reasons. It would be very Texans of them to win this game after looking as bad as they did last week. The Titans haven’t beat a good team — outside of the Chiefs in a real fluky game — during their winning streak. Everyone is high on the Titans. The public is high on the Titans. That’s why we are taking the Texans.
