This game will be played at NRG Stadium at 4:05 PM ET on Sunday, October 30, 2022.
Why Bet The Titans:
✅ The Titans have won four straight games, rebounding from an 0-2 start to the season. Their two losses came against the Buffalo Bills and New York Giants, who have a combined two losses this year. Tennessee has won two straight division games against the Colts, and will extend their win streak to five in a row and three straight in their division here.

✅ Derrick Henry should be able to put up some huge numbers in this contest for Tennessee. Houston has the worst run defense in the NFL this season, giving up 164.7 yards per game on the ground. That will tilt the scales heavily in the favor of the Titans on Sunday.
✅ Ryan Tannehill is averaging a full yard per pass attempt more than Davis Mills in this contest. As if the Titans didn’t have enough of an advantage in the running back department here, they have an advantage at the quarterback position as well.
Tennessee Titans
Last week, the Tennessee Titans extended their win streak to four games by beating the Houston Texans 19-10. Tennessee got out to a 13-0 lead in that game, and held on to win the game thanks in large part to the three turnovers they forced. While Ryan Tannehill struggled with just 132 passing yards for the game, Derrick Henry carried the Titans offense with 128 yards on the ground.
This week, the Titans will look to establish the run from the beginning against the worst run defense in the NFL. Henry averaged 231 yards per game in his two games against Houston in 2020, before missing both games against the Texans in 2021. Another big game from Henry would be huge for a Titans team looking for a fifth straight victory.
Houston Texans
The Houston Texans held a second half lead against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7 of the NFL season. But they were blown away in the final 20 minutes or so of game action, losing 38-20 at Allegiant Stadium. This week, the Texans will try to avoid another dismal finish to a game as they face the rival Titans at home.
Run defense is going to be the key for the Texans in this game, as the Titans offense relies so heavily on moving the ball on the ground. Ryan Tannehill has been struggling mightily for the Titans, but Derrick Henry is getting things going on the ground of late and Houston’s porous run defense will need to step up to stop him.
