Tennessee @ Houston

Current Records: Tennessee 11-5; Houston 4-12

What to Know

The Tennessee Titans have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. The Titans and the Houston Texans will face off in an AFC South battle at 1 p.m. ET Sunday at NRG Stadium. Tennessee won't have the home-field advantage, but they do enjoy a 10.5-point advantage in the spread.

Tennessee took their matchup against the Miami Dolphins last week by a conclusive 34-3 score. The oddsmakers were on Tennessee's side, but they didn't give the squad enough credit as the margin was unexpectedly wide. Among those leading the charge for them was RB D'Onta Foreman, who rushed for one TD and 132 yards on 26 carries.

Meanwhile, the contest between Houston and the San Francisco 49ers last week was not a total blowout, but with Houston falling 23-7 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one. QB Davis Mills had a pretty forgettable game, throwing one interception with only 5.09 yards per passing attempt.

The Titans are now 11-5 while the Texans sit at 4-12. A pair of offensive stats to keep an eye on: Tennessee ranks second in the NFL when it comes to rushing touchdowns, with 23 on the season. Less enviably, Houston is stumbling into the game with the fewest yards per game in the league, having accrued only 273.4 on average. So the cards are definitely stacked against Houston.
