Official Texans @ Titans Game Thread, 12/15/2019

[Arky]

The 8-5 Houston Texans take to the road to take on the 8-5 Tennessee Titans this Sunday in an early game. The Texans are coming off a 38-24 home drubbing by the Denver Broncos. The Titans are coming off a 42-21 road win over the Oakland Raiders and are 6-1 in their last 7 games. Titan QB Ryan Tannehill leads the league with a 118.5 quarterback rating.

The Texans are going to need to find a defense and fast to try to stop the rolling Titan offense. The Titans have beaten their last 3 opponents (Jax, Oak and Indy) by an average of 19 pts. The bi-polar Texans cannot afford to turn the ball over if they stand a chance. In the meantime:

Not sure what the Texans record is when Jim Nantz calls a Texans game but IIRC, I don't think it is very good. Nantz, who has Houston roots, doesn't seem to bring the luck..... Not his fault, of course, as he is a good announcer....

The Texans are 8-5 straight up, 6-7 ATS (against the spread).

The Titans are 8-5 straight up, 8-5 ATS

My record picking Texans games = 8-5 straight up, 7-6 ATS
