Houston Texans vs. Tennessee Titans Analysis
Obviously, the status of CJ Stroud is the biggest concern for the Houston Texans. Stroud is likely to win the Offensive Rookie of the Year and has an outside chance at 5,000 passing yards. He needs 1369 in his final four games to reach that. The former Ohio State signal-caller has 20 touchdown passes and 5 interceptions.
Nico Collins has been the top target for Houston, with 60 receptions, 1,004 yards and 6 touchdowns on the season. If Stroud cannot go, Houston will turn to Davis Mills. Mills was 3 for 7 in the final possession for the Texans in the loss last week.
Week 16, 17 and 18 of the Houston Texans schedule shows them at home against the Cleveland Browns and Tennessee Titans, and then on the road at the Indianapolis Colts.
Will Levis is the starting quarterback for the Tennessee Titans. Levis came in mid way through the series, and has thrown for 1,593 yards and 8 touchdowns. DeAndre Hopkins came over, and will likely reach 1,000 yards for the Titans. He has 10 touchdowns on the season as well.
Another name on the Tennessee Titans roster; Derrick Henry. Henry leads the rushing attack for Tennessee. The running back has 214 carries, 875 yards and 10 touchdowns on the season. Tennessee as a team is scoring 18.5 points per game, but allowing opponents to score 21.7.
The final three games after this for the Tennessee Titans in the scores and odds include a home game against Seattle, a trip to Houston, and then a home game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Titans are near the bottom of the NFL Standings, and will be interesting to see what they do with their NFL draft pick.
