Texans vs Titans NFL Football Spread/Handicapping
Texans vs. Titans has a nice ring to it but it shouldn’t be much of a game this year. Houston appears to be the league’s most complete team and has been cooking on the road so far – a perfect 5-0.

Houston
They are both good and lucky as they have won their last two games in overtime in what is becoming a very special season. They are looking to beat up on the franchise that moved so they could come into existence…again.
Running back Arian Foster has gotten better as the season has progressed. With 90 or more yards in each of the last 5 games he has topped 1000 already for the third season in a row. He gives them great balance which makes QB Matt Schaub’s job even easier.

They both benefit from the fact that more often than not the defense sets them up well and enables them to follow the game plan. They don’t really do anything special other than beat you.
Houston is 7-4 ATS so riding them has been a pretty good proposition all year long. Despite winning all their road games they are just 3-2 ATS as the visitor. It might have something to do with them always being the favourite. In fact, they have only been the underdog once this season. Looking at their schedule that is likely to happen only one more time on a visit to New England.
Tennessee
Tennessee decided to shake things up by firing their offensive coordinator. [soliloquy id=”82219″]
Even if the offense improves they are unlikely to change their fate which is another season out of the playoffs. The Titans dug themselves a hole by losing 4 of their first five games and have been treading water ever since. A little pride against a division opponent might come out this week but I don’t see any upset potential.
The Titans might have hit a new low by losing to Jacksonville last week – despite outgaining the Jags. When I was looking at the numbers I was surprised to see that just only one team has given up more points than Tennessee. They don’t know what they are doing at quarterback but with Chris Johnson toting the rock they still have big play potential. He was awful early in the year but last week was the first time in more than a month he didn’t crack 90 yards.
Other than being at home and perhaps catching the Titans off guard with some new wrinkles to their attack there is not much to like about the Titans this weekend. Last year they lost to Houston 41-7 at home and that was a better Titans team. They lost to Houston 38-14 early in the season and this one could be the same or worse.
Spread Pick: Houston -7
O/U Pick: Under
Score Prediction: Houston 27 – Tennessee 9
