The Tennessee Titans take their four-game winning streak back to Nashville for one of the biggest home games in recent history. The team’s higher-ups are pulling out all the stops to try and fill the stadium for this game going as far as bringing back an old fan favorite ‘Code Blue’ for this divisional matchup against the Texans.

The Titans come into this huge first place battle as one of the hottest teams in the National Football League. They’re averaging 37.5 PPG during their four game winning streak and are seemingly hitting their stride at the perfect time.

Derrick Henry is looking more like a go after dealing with a lingering hamstring injury that kept him out of practice all week as the Titans still haven’t activated another running back to the active roster.

As big as this game is, I expect Henry to suit up and be the workhorse he usually is, which will make Tannehill’s life easier as the Titans make a statement to the South and the rest of the AFC that this team is here to stay.

Final score: Titans 27, Texans 23
