Official Texans vs. Titans Thread, 12/14/2008

[Keith]

A win today would legitimize the season, wouldn't it? Going for four in a row against a team that is looking to lock up home field advantage in the playoffs.

For those watching from home, Gus Johnson and Steve Tasker are again on the call. Game will be televised though most of the Texas audience, including Austin and San Antonio, but not in the DFW market.

Kyle Vanden Bosch will be out for the Titans, which could be good for Schaub looking downfield today. LenDale White is also listed as questionable after having limited participation in practice this week. The Titans play a tough run D, but Steve Slaton is the only back to gain more than 100 yards against them this season (116).

I don't usually spend a lot of time elsewhere on the net, but goTitans.com is a rival fansite that usually does a pretty nice job if you're looking for an opposing fan perspective. From their game preview:

I don't think the Texans can contain "Slash and Dash" and the Titans will have another 35+ carry game even if they see limted success early. Michael Roos has owned Mario Williams which means Collins should have time in the pocket to get the ball out to Scaife and CJ. ...

I expect the Texans to gain an early lead but the Titans to wear them down and keep their AFC South winning streak perfect with a second half victory.

Prediction: Titans 31 - Texans 20
