Texans favored to beat Titans in Week 5 prediction
Houston and Tennessee, both 0-4, are set to meet in an NFL Week 5 divisional game.
SportsLine expert Eric Cohen predicts the Texans will win 22-13.
The prediction points to Tennessee’s struggling offense, which ranks last in total yards and second worst in points scored.
Houston’s defense has also had problems, but the Titans’ offense could give it a chance to recover.
Eight of the teams’ last 10 meetings had 37 points or fewer, another reason Cohen expects a low-scoring game.
A win would give Houston a starting point for the long climb back to a .500 record, while a fifth straight loss would deepen the problems for either team.
