Tennessee Titans Team News
Four weeks ago, the Tennessee Titans defeated the Green Bay Packers at road and they were at 7-3. It looked like they would easily win their division, but things got complicated. The Titans lost four games in a row and if they don’t beat the Houston Texans, they could miss the playoffs.
After the loss in Philadelphia three weeks ago, owner Amy Adams Strunk fired general manager Jon Robinson. The main reason is A.J. Brown trade, who scored two touchdowns in that game. Head coach Mike Vrabel was expected to get the upper hand in the front office, but after a string of poor results, all scenarios are open.
The Titans will host the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 18. The goal is clear, to have at least two wins more than them, because otherwise that game will decide who wins AFC South and goes to the playoffs. The Jaguars beat the Titans in Nashville two weeks ago, so they don’t want that game in last week to matter.
Houston Texans Team News
The Houston Texans are the worst team in the NFL this season. They have only one win and it came in early October against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It is certain that this franchise will have the first pick in the next draft and will almost certainly use it to select a quarterback.
Although they won only once, in many games the Texans were very close. Last week, they lost in overtime to the Kansas City Chiefs who are one of the best teams in the NFL. Before that, they led at road against the Dallas Cowboys until fourth quarter. The fact is that they don’t give up and they will play bravely until the very end.
In the final three weeks, the Texans will play one game against each of their three division rivals. They have the opportunity to spoil the plans of one of them, so they will not lack motivation. If they repeat performance from previous two games, surely they can overcome the Tennessee Titans.
H2H
The Tennessee Titans won seven of their last ten meetings against the Houston Texans. In the first clash this season, it was 17:10 for the Titans in Houston on October 30.
Injuries
Ryan Tannehill, Nate Davis, Josh Thompson, Kristian Fulton, Dillon Radunz, Dylan Cole, Ben Jones, Terrance Mitchell, Dontrell Hilliard and C.J. Board are injured and won’t play for the Tennessee Titans. Treylon Burks and Amani Hooker are questionable.
Nico Collins, Kenyon Green, Taylor Stallworth, Derek Stingley and Dameon Pierce are out for the Houston Texans. Chris Moore, Brandin Cooks, Steven Nelson and Justin McCray are questionable.
Tennessee Titans vs. Houston Texans Prediction
There are a few reasons why the Titans aren’t heavy favorites on paper. They are on a four-game losing streak, their starting quarterback (Tannehill) is injured and situation within the franchise is turbulent. However, this is not the first time in Mike Vrabel era that things are not looking good. It is certain that the Titans offense will be more conservative, but it’s the defense that will have to stand out here.
