Titans are favorites over Texans ahead of Week 17 matchup

Win and they’re in.

Win and they’re in.

That’s how the postseason scenario currently stands for the Tennessee Titans, who face the Houston Texans for the second time of the 2019 season this week.

The last time the Titans faced the Texans ended in a 24-21 Houston win, and was the same close matchup we’re so used to seeing again the Titans and division opponents, though the team has recorded a pair of dominant wins over the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Indianapolis Colts in recent times.

According to Bet MGM, the Titans are favored to take home the victory this time around by a point spread of (-4.5).

The Texans come off a 23-20 road win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as they return home for the regular season finale.

Though they’ve already clinched and hold the top spot in the AFC South, the team does not plan to rest its starters.

“We are playing to win,” Texans coach Bill O’Brien said in a Monday press conference.

The Titans are obviously the team with a lot more at stake in this showdown, and they’ll need quarterback Ryan Tannehill to stay hot and for the offense to snag the momentum early on.

The Titans and Texans are set to kick off at 3:25 p.m. CT on Sunday in NRG Stadium.
