Despite losing to the Green Bay Packers Sunday night, the Tennessee Titans (10-5) are well-positioned to make the postseason. They’ll face the Houston Texans (4-11) in Week 17, needing a win to clinch a postseason berth. Kickoff from NRG Stadium will be at 4:25 p.m. ET. Below, we take a look at the early Titans-Texans Week 17 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.
The Titans were blown out 40-14 at a snowy Lambeau Field by the Packers in Week 16. It snapped a five-game streak of Tennessee scoring at least 30 points, though the weather played a factor in that. The Titans still rank third in scoring and second in rushing yards this season.
The Texans have gotten brilliant play out of QB Deshaun Watson, and they’re fourth in passing yards as a team. Defensively, they’re just 21st in scoring and rank in the bottom-third of most major categories. Houston has lost four games in a row, two of which came against the Indianapolis Colts.
