Tennessee Titans vs Houston Texans Prediction
I’ll lean toward the Texans. On Monday Houston posted 391 total yards (250 passing) and 21 first downs in a pretty nice overall effort against a struggling Dallas squad. The Texans’ defense gave up points in only the second quarter and the whole team finished strong with a couple of unanswered fourth-quarter scores to cap things off. That makes 22 or more points in seven of the last eight games for Houston, and it was a nice bounce-back after a tough loss to Detroit.
As for Tennessee, they’re coming off a sloppy game against the Vikings with 13 penalties for 91 yards. The Titans mustered 294 yards on offense (33 rushing) with just 11 first downs and a tepid 6-of-15 on third-down conversions. Tennessee hasn’t gotten past 20 points for six straight games, a 1-5 stretch. It’s hard to imagine the offense waking up for this one.
