Model backs Texans-Titans over in five-leg Week 5 NFL parlay
A computer model has selected five bets for Week 5 of the 2026 NFL season.
One pick is for the Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans to score more than 39.5 points combined.
The teams, both in the AFC South, are scheduled to play Sunday.
The Texans are seeking their first win of the season, and their defense has allowed more points than it did last year.
Quarterback C.J. Stroud leads Houston, while Cam Ward leads Tennessee.
The model simulated each game 10,000 times, and its estimate gives the Texans-Titans points bet a 62% chance of winning.
The other four picks are not specified in the available information, and a successful five-bet parlay is described as paying nearly 25-1.
