How it plays out

Houston Texans vs Tennessee Titans is a AFC South rivalry game, the kind where the records can go out the window. On paper this is about as lopsided as it gets: Houston Texans at 92% to Tennessee Titans's 8%, spread HOU -8. The power-ranking gap backs it up (#10 vs #31), and the contender tiers agree.

Tactically, Houston Texans will want to lean on fierce pass rush to attack Tennessee Titans, whose roster depth is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Tennessee Titans's veteran WR could punish Houston Texans if run game goes unaddressed. Whoever wins that exchange likely wins the game.

Keep an eye on C.J. Stroud (QB) and Cam Ward (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. Home field tilts the margin toward Texans, and in a game this close that edge matters.
