Texans odds: Houston opens as road underdog against Titans in Week 18

The Houston Texans might be in the playoffs, but they’re underdogs on the road against the struggling Tennessee Titans.

While the Houston Texans can’t secure the No. 3 seed in the AFC playoffs, they could clinch another 10-win season behind DeMeco Ryans and C.J. Stroud.

The only thing in their way? A four-quarter battle in Nashville with the struggling Tennessee Titans in Week 18. With a victory, Houston would cap off the 2024 campaign with a 5-1 record in the AFC South and a double-digit win season en route as the division champs.

Houston (9-7) enters Sunday’s showdown at Nissan Stadium as a 4-point road underdog against Tennessee (3-13), according to odds from BetMGM. The over/under for points is currently set at 36, while the money line is at -225.

The Texans are preparing for two different quarterbacks. Titans first-year coach Brian Callahan confirmed on Monday that former second-round pick Will Levis and veteran Mason Rudolph would play in the regular-season finale as a test for next season.

While the Texans are playing for a 10-win year, the Titans are looking to end the year on a high note and outside the top three in April’s NFL draft. Following a 20-13 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Titans are currently projected to own the second overall pick with a loss on Sunday.

The Texans could also rest starters since they can’t improve their positioning in the AFC playoffs following a 31-2 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Christmas Day. The team, however, wants to end their year on a high note entering the postseason.
