Texans at Titans picks and predictions
Prediction
Texans 20, Titans 13
Moneyline
The Texans are not going to rest their starters despite knowing they will make the playoffs and have their seed in the conference set. Head coach DeMeco Ryan wants to see his team play better than they have in recent weeks.
The Titans are a mess having lost 5 straight and 7 of 8. Their only win in the last 2 months was over the Texans.
With Houston focusing on execution leading into the postseason and the Titans just trying to finish the season, expect the Texans to win.
The Titans have lost all 5 games this season in which they were favored.
BET TEXANS (+100).
Against the spread
With even-money odds on the moneyline, there is no need to bet the spread. As noted, the Titans have not won a game this season as favorites. If they don’t cover, they are losing outright.
PASS.
Over/Under
Their first meeting in November had 59 total points.
The Texans have had decreased offensive scoring production in 6 straight games. That won’t continue as they scored only 2 points against the Ravens.
The Titans have allowed 20 or more points in 3 straight games and in 7 of 8. They only scored 13 against the Jags last week.
Expect the Texans to slow Tennessee but don’t expect a huge game from the offense.
BET UNDER 37 (-110).
