Who are the experts taking on Texans vs Titans?

On By Littum

The Houston Texans (7-4) will battle the Tennessee Titans (2-8) on Sunday afternoon at NRG Stadium, where Houston can gain ground in the AFC South as the division favorites.

The Texans look to keep their winning ways alive after a 34-10 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on “Monday Night Football.” Houston continues to rely on its ground game with Joe Mixon coming off a three-touchdown performance. The Texans will also be at full strength as Pro Bowl-caliber receiver Nico Collins, defensive end Will Anderson Jr. and cornerback Kamari Lassiter is expected to play.

Houston enters Sunday as an 8.5-point underdog against the Titans, according to BetMGM. But what do the experts think? Here’s a look:
