Tennessee Titans at Houston Texans (-4)
Total: 41.5
PickCenter public consensus pick: 66 percent picked Houston
Sharp: Tennessee's offense was a tragedy in the first half last week when Marcus Mariota was still playing, recording just a 44 percent success rate passing, taking four sacks and averaging just 6.5 yards per attempt. Mariota was accurate (10-of-13) but everything was short thanks to the pressure applied by the Colts' defense. That's a bad look heading into Houston, as Indianapolis' pass rush was bottom-10 in the league, while Houston has a top-10 unit.
