Tennessee Titans Expected to Dominate Against Resting Houston Texans Starters

The Tennessee Titans are poised to secure their fourth victory of the season against the Houston Texans, who are expected to rest most, if not all, of their starters. Despite ranking 30th in points allowed per game, the Titans boast the second-best total yardage allowed in the league at 307.3 yards. Tennessee's main struggle this season has been turnovers, with a league-high 33 turnovers leading to advantageous field position for opposing teams. However, facing Houston's backup players will likely result in less pressure on the quarterback, increased running game efficiency, and more opportunities for the receiving corps downfield. As a result, we anticipate that Tennessee will emerge victorious and cover the spread in this matchup.
