Titans vs Texans Prediction
The current betting odds have the Texans listed as an 8.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Texans have looked really good in their games this season with their 7-4 record overall which leads the AFC South with the only record above .500 at the moment. They have also looked great against division opponents this season with their 3-0 record in the AFC South, and they have looked even better in their home games too with their 4-1 home record. Their only home loss this season was against the Lions who have the best record in the NFC right now, and the Texans are coming off a big 34-10 win over the Cowboys last week so they are going to have momentum from that win. Meanwhile, the Titans have looked terrible in their games this season with their 2-8 record overall which has them at the bottom of the AFC with one of the worst records in the entire NFL. They are 1-4 in their road games too and have been a complete disaster for most of the season. They are coming off another loss in their last one, losing at home to the Vikings by 10, and they are 0-1 in the division already with a loss to the Colts earlier this season. Their season is pretty much over at this point and they don't have anything to play for while the Texans are looking to strengthen their lead in the division and get back on a run after a rough stretch these last few weeks. The best way to place a bet here is on the Texans to cover the spread in this game.
Titans Texans Prediction: Our NFL Pick for Sunday, November 24, 2024 (1:00 pm ET start time) is Texans 27 Titans 16.
