The Tennessee Titans (8-5) are on a four game winning streak after defeating the Oakland Raiders, 42-21 last week on the road.
Now the team turns its attention to the division rival Houston Texans, who they’ll face this week for the first time of the season.
According to Bet MGM, the Titans are slightly favored by a point spread of (-2.5).
The Texans dropped their most recent matchup, 38-24 to the visiting Denver Broncos last week, as quarterback Drew Lock came out and picked apart the Houston defense.
The Texans’ defense will be up for a special challenge on Sunday against a new-look Titans team led by quarterback Ryan Tannehill.
Tannehill has lost just one game in his time as a starter for the Titans, posting an overall record of 6-1.
On the season, he’s 149-of-203 passing for 1,993 yards with 15 touchdowns and five interceptions.
He’s posted consistently strong performances, and is making the case for himself to be a long-term starter in Nashville, though he was originally only supposed to serve as a mere insurance policy for Marcus Mariota.
Whichever team comes out with the win will sit atop the AFC South, and it will be interesting to see if this is the same type of close matchup we’ve so often seen from these two teams in the past.
The Titans and Texans are set to kick off at noon CT on Sunday in Nissan Stadium.
