Texans at Titans: Predictions, picks, odds for NFL Week 18 game

The No. 1 pick could be in the cards for the Tennessee Titans (3-13), but it'll take a loss to the Houston Texans (9-7) for even a slim chance.
The poor Christmas Day showing against the Baltimore Ravens didn't do much to help the confidence of Texans fans heading into the playoffs. Houston will get a home playoff game, but that won't be enough to get people feeling good about their Super Bowl chances.
With some help from the New England Patriots, the Titans can be the ones drafting first in next year's draft if they lose to Houston. Safe to say there will be plenty of fans that will be rooting for a loss to help reset the franchise in the 2025 season.

Lorenzo Reyes: Texans 19, Titans 14
Houston will likely rest starters. I’d still take the Texans over the Titans.
Richard Morin: Titans 16, Texans 14
The Titans are favored for a reason. Houston should be resting its starters, paving the way for the Titans to get their fourth win of the season.
Jordan Mendoza: Texans 17, Titans 16
Tennessee being the favorite is somewhat surprising, considering the franchise could greatly benefit from losing. The Titans choke this game away, but that won't be a bad thing.
