Texans vs Titans Prediction 

Houston comes into this matchup with an 0-4 record and they have been very disappointing this season. The Texans have allowed 30+ points in two of their four games and they will be on the road here. Tennessee is also 0-4, but that was somewhat expected, as they are one of the worst teams in the NFL. The Titans need Cam Ward and the offense to produce more, as they have yet to score 21 points. Both teams need a win in this one, but I can’t back Tennessee with how Ward is playing. Take the Texans on the road here.
