=14.0ptThe Houston Texans have clinched the AFC South and a playoff berth. Today, they will be on the road against divisional opponent, the Tennessee Titans. The Titans have been eliminated from the playoffs for a few weeks and are currently on a 5-game losing streak. Their latest loss came against the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars last week, as they played with Mason Rudolph under center and Tajee Spears in the backfield. This week, Spears has already been ruled out with a concussion and Tony Pollard is questionable with an ankle injury. For the Texans, they look to have a healthier lineup as no big names However, they are coming into this game after losing their last 2 games to Kansas City and Baltimore. That said, those 2 teams are arguably in the top 4-5 teams in the league, so it is not like they were terrible losses. There could be a revenge factor in this matchup as the Texans lost to these Titans a few weeks back 32-27. In the loss, Joe Mixon was held to just 22 yards rushing. The Texans have seemingly gone as Mixon has gone. When he is bottled up, they tend to loss those games. Look for the Texans to establish him early in this one and end the regular season on a high note.
