THE INSIDERS ROOM 10* UNDERDOG OF THE WEEK (EARLY 1:00 EST KICK-OFF!)
(NFL) Houston vs. Tennessee,
Point Spread: 3.50 | -101.00 Houston (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* UNDERDOG OF THE WEEK on the Houston Texans.

I think this sets up well for the Texans. Tennessee had to play on Tuesday night and while they crushed the Bills 42-16, I believe this one sets up as a letdown spot for the Titans.

With a date at home vs. Pittsburgh next weekend as well, this one also sets up as a "look ahead" spot for Tennessee.

The Texans had interim coach Romeo Crennel on the sidelines last weekend and they finally punched their first win of the year 30-14 over the Jaguars. Houston had 486 total yards of offense, including 357 through the air.

Houston faced some stiff competition to open the season, but it has a well balanced offense and an underrated defense. Watson and the Texans won't be lacking for motivation here.

The Titans are undefeated and a letdown at some point is going to happen. And after playing on Tuesday, that some point is right now!

I think the stage is set for an outright upset, but in the end I'm going to grab the points!

Good luck, NP
