NFL Free Pick: Take Tennessee. According to latest NFL trends, the Texans are 1-4 against the spread in their last five games overall and 1-4 ATS in their last five games when playing on Sunday following a Monday night game. As for the Titans, they’re 5-0 against the number in their last five games after accumulating less than 250 total yards in their previous game.
The Titans’ defense came to play a week ago against the Steelers. They sacked Ben Roethlisberger five times and held Pittsburgh to just 163 passing yards on the day. With Houston coming off a short week, look for Tennessee’s defense to play well again and for Jake Locker to make enough plays to keep his team in the game. Take the value in the points.
