5 minTexans vs. Titans Prediction, Pick, Odds: Can Will Levis, Titans Continue to Impress?
Monday Night Football was a movie.
Will Levis and the Tennessee Titans earned a come-from-behind win after a two-touchdown deficit with under three minutes left on the clock against the Miami Dolphins.
Now they'll look to drag that momentum into Sunday against a Houston Texans team that might've overachieved earlier this season.
The Texans are still 7-6 with playoff hopes. However, Houston just lost badly to the New York Jets and might not have C.J. Stroud for this game due to a concussion.
With Houston already down a couple of significant pieces, can the Titans capitalize and earn their sixth win of the season?
Here are our picks, predictions, and odds for Sunday's game between the Houston Texans vs. Tennessee Titans.

Texans vs. Titans Prediction
If C.J. Stroud is unable to play, the Texans will still have a reliable quarterback in Davis Mills.
He's not C.J. Stroud. That's why the Texans went and drafted Stroud when Mills was the starter. Mills never got the job done consistently with Houston.
The wide receiver room is already without Tank Dell. However, Noah Brown and Nico Collins are also both questionable for this game. The offense struggled to pass the ball against the Jets. And while most teams have that issue against the Jets, it's probably something to be concerned about if you're the Texans.
The offense has scored 22.08 points per game. But it's unlikely that Houston will start to put up big numbers against the Titans defense, which has allowed 21.25 points.
The Texans are trending downward right now. Even the defense struggled to get stops against the Jets last weekend.
Houston has allowed nearly 247 yards in the air and another 95.62 yards on the ground.
On the other hand, the Titans have only averaged 17.75 points per game. But after scoring 28 points against the Dolphins, the Titans seem to have legitimate momentum.
Will Levis had the best game of his young career and has now added 28 points in two straight games for the Titans.
Levis has already thrown eight touchdowns and has only had three interceptions this season. He's been very good at protecting the ball despite allowing that weird pick-six on Monday.
Meanwhile, he's got a great connection with DeAndre Hopkins. Hopkins is well on his way to earning another 1,000-yard season. Many analysts were surprised that he chose to be with Tennessee. But that move is starting to pay dividends.
You can thank Levis for that.
With that said, I'll bite on the Titans. At home, against a banged-up Houston squad, I still like Tennessee despite having a little less rest.
