The Titans pushed as 3-point home underdogs and the Under of 41.5 cleared in their 20-17 defeat to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 16. Tennessee has lost 3 of its last 4 games, but rookie QB Will Levis is expected to start on Sunday following a 1-game absence.
The Texans suffered a 36-22 loss to the Cleveland Browns in Week 16, failing to cover as 3-point home underdogs, and the Over of 40 easily connected.

Prediction
Texans 24, Titans 16
Moneyline
While the Texans are projected to win at home on Sunday, I'll PASS on taking their moneyline at over -200 odds.
Against the spread
TEXANS -4 (-110) is how I'd wager on the spread with Stroud returning to start under center for Houston. These teams met in Week 15 and veteran QB Case Keenum led the Texans to a 19-16 overtime victory as 3-point road underdogs.
The Titans are 6-8-1 ATS overall and 2-5 ATS on the road this season. Also, the Texans are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings.
Over/Under
UNDER 44 (-110) is the lean in this matchup despite both Levis and Stroud returning to action. Even with the Texans playing in a dome, they are 3-5 to the Over at home this season.
On top of that, the Texans have scored more than 22 points at home just twice this season. Meanwhile, the Titans have scored 16 or fewer points in 6 of their 7 road games thus far.
