Titans open as slight road favorites over Texans for Week 8

The Tennessee Titans (4-2) have another opportunity to continue creating some much-needed breathing room within the division when they travel to Houston to take on the Texans (1-4-1) on Sunday.

Despite their disastrous 0-2 start to the season, the Titans come into this game as winners of four straight. Tennessee currently sits in sole possession of first place in the AFC South, while the Texans find themselves on the opposite end of the spectrum.

Not only are they last in the division, but the Texans also possesses the second-lowest winning percentage in the entire NFL (.250). Only the Detroit Lions (.167) have a lower win percentage through seven weeks.

As you would expect, the Titans are entering Sunday’s divisional showdown as 1.5-point favorites, with the over/under currently set at 40.5 points, per Tipico Sportsbook.

Similarly to their real-life record, Tennessee comes into this game with a 4-2 mark against the spread. Houston, on the other hand, actually has a winning record against the spread, coming in at 3-2-1 after six games.

However, the Texans actually have a better record than the Titans when it comes to betting the over/under. Tennessee is 2-4 in that scenario, while Houston sits at 3-3.

Keep checking Tipico Sportsbook throughout the week for any updates to the betting lines.
