NFL predictions: Who gets their first win in the Titans-Texans matchup?
Is a trip to Nashville just what the Texans need to save their season?
On Sunday, the Houston Texans, currently standing at 0-4, will face off against the Tennessee Titans, who also have a 0-4 record. The matchup appears to be highly anticipated, but it's unlikely that either team will be leading with a win. The Texans boast one of the best defensive fronts in the league, which will pose a significant challenge to the Titans' offensive line.
However, the Titans' offensive line has shown improvement this season, but they haven't faced this type of pressure yet. This matchup will truly test the Texans' defensive unit. Cam Ward has been performing well lately, but the added pressure he will face could cause him to revert to some old habits, potentially leading to a higher number of sacks against him.
To stop the Texans, the Titans will need to keep an eye on Nico Collins, who is averaging over 30 points per game when he plays. The Titans will be missing their starting safety, Amani Hooker, who has been decent this season, making Collins' performance even more crucial. Collins is getting +144 odds to achieve 90 yards receiving at FanDuel Sportsbook, which seems like a safe bet.
The Texans are projected to score 27 points, while the Titans are expected to score 13. For the Titans fans, it might be worth 'Titan Up' their game-day experience by following the game closely through the SB Nation app.
