The Tennessee Titans (4-2) and Houston Texans (1-4-1) play a Week 8 game Sunday at NRG Stadium in Houston. Kickoff is set for 4:05 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Titans vs. Texans odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Titans were slaughtered 41-7 back in Week 2 at Buffalo, but Tennessee has bounced back to win and cover each of the 4 games since. That includes a pair of wins inside the AFC South Division, both against the Indianapolis Colts. The Under has cashed in 3 in a row for Tennessee.

The Texans tied the Colts in Week 1 and picked up a 13-6 win at Jacksonville in Week 5, so Houston is 1-0-1 straight up (SU) and 2-0 against the spread (ATS) inside the division this season. The Over has hit in 3 of the past 4 outings for the home side.

Titans at Texans picks and predictions

Prediction

Titans 27, Texans 19

Moneyline

The TITANS (-110) are a strong play. There’s no need to worry about the spread since it’s only ½ point.

And there’s no need to worry that Tannehill is out. Rookie QB Malik Willis will be a handful for the Texans defense. He was a stud QB at Liberty last season, throwing for 2,857 yards with 27 TDs, while running for 878 yards and 13 scores.

Tennessee has won 4 of the previous 5 meetings against Houston, and the Texans haven’t won on their home field against the Titans since Nov. 26, 2018.

Against the spread

PASS since we’re backing the Titans (-110) moneyline.

Tennessee was a 2.5-point favorite last week on its home field against Indianapolis and easily grabbed the win and cover. The same will hold true here.

Over/Under

OVER 39.5 (-105) is a solid play based on the trends.

The Over has cashed in 4 of the past 5 meetings in this series and is 10-1 in the past 11 meetings in Houston.

The Over is also 13-5 in the past 18 road games for the Titans, while cashing in 4 of the past 5 home games for the Texans.

Tennessee Titans at Houston Texans odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Tennessee Titans at Houston Texans odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Tennessee Titans (11-5) will square off against the Houston Texans (4-12) at NRG Stadium in the season finale for both teams. Kickoff is set for 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday. Below, we look at the Titans vs. Texans odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

With wins in each of their last two games, Tennessee has moved into the top spot in the AFC. With a win over the Texans this weekend, they would clinch the number one seed.

That would give the Titans a bye in the first round of the playoffs and home-field advantage throughout.

Houston has won just four games all season, but it has won two of the last three contests. The Texans also came away with a victory in a previous meeting with the Titans, a 22-13 win in Nashville.

Titans at Texans odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Titans 24, Texans 14

Money line

There is a lot on the line for the Titans, and they are certainly the better team in this matchup, especially with workhorse RB Derrick Henry expected to return to action. But they are just 4-3 on the road and have already lost to Houston once.

At this price, it’s probably best to just PASS on the money line.

Against the spread

The Texans have been pretty inconsistent, with more poor showings than good ones. They have beaten a couple of solid teams (Titans, Chargers), but have also been blown out on multiple occasions.

Even so, they are likely to do enough to keep this one close, so a small play on TEXANS +10.5 (-115) is the call.

Over/Under

The total has gone Under in each of Tennessee’s last four games, and prior to last week’s 34-point outburst, they had scored 20 points or less in five straight.

On the other side of the ball, Tennessee’s defense has surrendered a total of just 39 points in its last four games.

Back the UNDER 42.5 (-110).

Prediction

Titans 34, Texans 24

Money line (?)

The Texans have lost four in a row and can only play spoiler. The Titans are coming off an embarrassing 40-14 loss at the Green Bay Packers. Tennessee will get back on track. Take the TITANS -375.

The two teams played a one-score game earlier this season, with the Titans pulling out a 42-36 overtime victory. Tennessee has covered the spread in four of its last six games, while Houston has failed to cover in three of its last four games during. Houston has one of the league’s worst ATS records as an underdog this season, going 3-6. Take the TITANS -7.5 (-110).

Over/Under (?)

The total is high, but the Titans have seen their games go Over in two in a row and in six of seven. The Texans’ Week 16 contest also went Over, although the previous three went Under. The two teams combined for 78 points in their first meeting. Take the OVER 55.5 (-115).
