This game is going to be the toughest game the Titans have played all season. With the division lead on the line in this one, this may be one of the hardest games of the week to pick.

The Texans may be getting a huge weapon back in Will Fuller, and with the Titans missing Adoree’ Jackson yet again, the Titans secondary could struggle to slow down the Texans’ high-octane passing game.

On the flip side, Ryan Tannehill has been red hot for the Titans, boasting a 6-1 record since taking over the starting job in Week 7, and with the Texans ranking 27th against the pass defensively, he could look to have another big game. With Derrick Henry hobbled all week with his hamstring issues, Tannehill will have to perform as well as he has recently, if not better.

In what is an absolutely pivotal game for both of these teams, I think the Titans will get the victory in this one. They play again in Week 17, but with this being a home game for the Titans, I think they will at very least win this game.

Final score: Titans 28, Texans 21
