I’m expecting a close game, as both of these teams are trying to keep to Indy in the AFC South.

The Titans have played tough the last three weeks, but they’re 1-2 in that span. All three games ended up being decided by a combined five points, but we can throw those performances out the window.

[dfads params=’groups=63753&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

Zach Mettenberger is going to start for Tennessee against the Texans on Sunday. This will be the first start for the rookie QB and he’ll be going up the explosive pass rush of Houston that’d led by J.J. Watt.

Jadeveon Clowney also wants to play, but it remains to be seen whether he’ll suit up or not. He won’t be 100%, but if he plays opposite Watt I really don’t see this start going well for the rookie QB.

Tennessee is only scoring 17.3 PPG (28th), so I can see why they’re playing with the QB position. They have one of the worst pass offenses (209.9 PYPG –28th), but Kendall Wright is finally stepping up.

[dfads params=’groups=66501&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

The run game (110.4 RYPG – 17th) isn’t going to give Mettenberger much help either. Bishop Sankey leads the team at RB, but they don’t utilize the rookie enough. That should change this week though.

Houston is definitely the better team in this game. The defense allows 268.7 PYPG (26th) and 118.6 RYPG (20th), but they only give up 21.4 PPG (11th) because they have forced a lot of turnovers.

Arian Foster will have to deal with a heavy load on offense though. The Texans average 129.0 RYPG (8th) and 216.0 PYPG (25th). They have two good WR’s, but Fitzpatrick isn’t that good of a QB.

The Titans defense ranks worse than 20th in all major statistical categories. They’re going to give up yards on the ground to Foster and that’ll open up Johnson and Hopkins downfield in the pass game.

4* Free NFL Pick: Houston Texans vs. Tennessee Titans

Houston is 3-1 ATS in the last four H2H meetings. They’re 3-1 SU as well, as they lost the last meeting, but won the three prior to that. Houston is the better team and I expect them to bounce back.

After losing the way they did last week to the Steelers the Texans will either bounce back strongly or they will fold. They need this game to keep pace with the Colts and at just –3 I’ll bet on them.

Houston Texans –3 (-110)

Foster is the best player on offense on both teams and he should take over this game. Mettenberger will struggle in his first start and this Texans defense is very capable of forcing a couple interceptions.

Houston Texans vs. Tennessee Titans Week 17 Betting Predictions & Preview

Texans vs Titans NFL Handicapping

The Tennessee Titans and Houston Texans will face off in Nashville on Sunday to close out each of their seasons. Tennessee’s year started with promise following a 3-1 start but quickly unravelled after a three-game losing streak going into their bye week, while Houston’s season has been even more disastrous, with the team losing 13 in a row after winning their first two games.

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

Texans vs. Titans Trends + Week 2 Pick

AFC South Week 2 Pick – Houston Texans vs. Tennessee Titans

The Houston Texans (0-1 SU, 1-0 ATS, 0-1 O/U) are in trouble BetUS NFL sports betting members.

After getting surprised in their season-opening 24-7 home loss to the New York Jets and failing to cover the spread as a 4.5-point favorite in Week 1, Houston gets rewarded by hitting the road this week to take on the Tennessee Titans (0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS, 0-1 O/U). The Titans will undoubtedly be in a foul mood after dropping their season-opener, 13-10 to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1 but covering the spread as 6.5-point underdogs.
