Tennessee Titans in Must Win Game Sunday

Holding onto the final playoff spot in the AFC, the Tennessee Titans square off against the Houston Texans on Sunday afternoon.

It’s quite simple. The Titans have the fate of their season in the palm of their hands. If they manage to win on Sunday, the Titans will punch their ticket into the postseason. As it stands, the Pittsburgh Steelers are tied with the Titans for the 6th and final playoff spot, but the Titans are ahead of Pittsburgh due to tie-breaking procedures.

Online bookmaker 10Bet has the Titans listed at -180 on the Money Line.

The Texans have already punched their ticket into the playoffs by winning the AFC South. Expect the Texans to sit the majority of their starters on Sunday. Starters could also find themselves playing limited minutes, but they should be subbed out by half.

These two teams faced off against one another during Week 15. The Texans would win that game 24-21. If we see the same outcome on Sunday, the Titans could find themselves out of a playoff spot depending on the Steelers’ contest against the Ravens.

Tennessee could see a huge boost as Derrick Henry says he will play on Sunday. Henry didn’t suit up in last week’s game as the Titans lost to the New Orleans Saints. Henry leads the team in touchdowns with 13.

Ryan Tannehill and A.J. Brown have been solid ever since Tannehill took over for Marcus Mariota. Brown is a legitimate threat, meaning the Texans’ defense will need to control the running and passing game from Tennessee on Sunday.

The Titans should be facing a less than ideal Texans roster as Houston prepares for the playoffs. Can the Titans win the biggest game of their regular season?
