The Tennessee Titans have the Houston Texans next on the schedule, and with a short week ahead, the Titans open as the favorite for Sunday’s matchup.

The Tennessee Titans improved to 4-0 on Tuesday with its blowout victory over the Buffalo Bills. Now the Titans will look to continue its impressive win streak in a matchup against division-rival Houston Texans.

The Texans often give the Titans some fits, as most division rivals do. This year might be a little different, though, as the Titans are on fire, and the Texans are a dumpster fire.

Bill O’Brien is out as Texans head coach after Houston started the season 0-4. The Texans followed that up with its first win of the season against the Jaguars this past Sunday.

Las Vegas expects Sunday’s matchup to stay close between the Titans and Texans in what could be another great divisional game.

The Titans have opened as a 3.5-point favorite over the Texans. The Texans will be coming to Nashville for the game, so the Titans will have the benefit of not having to travel after a short week.

The Over/Under for the game opened at 51.5, which seems to be on the higher end of NFL Over/Unders. Based on where Las Vegas has opened these lines, it looks like they’re expecting a high-scoring, close game.

Hopefully, the Titans didn’t use all of the offense they’ve been waiting to use over the past two weeks against the Bills.

The Titans are returning a lot of their roster this week and are still bringing back some players off the COVID-19 list.

The game should be another fun matchup, so hopefully, the Titans coming off a Tuesday night game won’t hurt them too much when it comes to Sunday.
