Week 17 finds the 10-5 Tennessee Titans coming to NRG this Sunday to take on the 4-11 Texans in a late game on CBS. All 32 NFL teams will play on Sunday this week in the final game of the season for most. The Texans are coming off a 37-31 home loss to the Bengals, the Titans are coming off a 40-14 road loss to the Packers on SNF. These two last met in Week 5 when the Titans triumphed over the Texans 42-36 in OT at home. Derek Henry had 212 rushing yards and the Titans scored 15 fourth qtr points to force OT. The Titans will have motivation to remain the top seeded 10-5 team. (5 AFC teams have 10-5 records). The Texans are hurting in too many areas. I've got it:
Titans 36, Texans 22
