Tennessee Titans Look to Turn the Tide
Offensive Struggles
The Tennessee Titans’ offense has faced significant challenges, ranking 25th in total score with 311 points for the season. Their passing game hasn’t been much better, standing at 26th with 3,317 passing yards. Despite some efforts from the running game, their rushing yards rank only 19th with a total of 1,855 yards.
Quarterback Cameron Ward’s performance highlights these struggles, as he has thrown for 506 yards and 2 touchdowns over three games. The Titans’ offensive line has been instrumental in these outcomes, and their ability to protect Ward will be crucial in upcoming games.
Defensive Performance
Defensively, the Titans are ranked 27th in opponent scoring, allowing 460 points this season. Their defensive line has shown some promise, ranking 16th in sacks with a total of 32. However, they have excelled in forcing turnovers with 11 interceptions and 6 fumbles recovered, both ranking in the top ten.
The defense faces the challenge of containing opponents’ offensive yards, as they rank 2nd in most opponent offensive yards allowed, with 5,291 yards given up. The Titans will need to tighten their defensive coverage to prevent further yardage and scoring.
Recent Game Performances
In their recent game against the Indianapolis Colts, the Titans were outpaced, losing 41-20. The Titans’ defense struggled to contain the Colts’ offense, which gained 228 passing yards and 137 rushing yards. In previous games against the Rams and Broncos, the Titans also fell short, indicating a need for both offensive and defensive improvements.
Top performers for the Titans have included Tony Pollard, who leads the team in rushing with 197 yards over three games. On the receiving end, Elic Ayomanor and Calvin Ridley have contributed with a combined 218 receiving yards.
Key Injuries
The Titans are facing injury concerns that could impact their performance. Notably, Treylon Burks is out for the season with a fractured collarbone, and Will Levis is also out due to shoulder surgery. Tyjae Spears and T’Vondre Sweat are on the injured reserve list, affecting the team’s depth in critical positions.
With several players listed as questionable, including Kevin Zeitler and JC Latham, the Titans’ ability to field a fully healthy roster remains a concern. The team will need to manage these injuries effectively to stay competitive.

Texans vs Titans Prediction: Over 38.5
The Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans are both struggling with 0-3 records this season. However, their recent head-to-head history suggests potential for a high-scoring game. Last season, the games between these two teams saw totals of 37 and 59 points, indicating a likelihood of surpassing the current total of 38.5.
The Texans have shown a tendency to exceed low totals in recent games. They went 4-0 in over/under bets when the total was 42 or less in their last four regular-season games in 2024. This trend may continue, especially given the offensive struggles both teams have faced.
On the offensive side, the Texans ranked 18th in scoring and 21st in passing yards last season, while the Titans were 25th in scoring and 26th in passing. Despite these low rankings, both teams have shown the ability to score against each other, particularly in the 2024 season.
Defensively, both teams allowed substantial points, with the Titans ranking 27th in opponent scoring. This defensive vulnerability increases the probability of both teams finding the end zone multiple times, leading to a game that exceeds the 38.5-point total.
- Texans vs Titans Prediction: Over 38.5
- Texans vs Titans Score: Texans 24 – Titans 21
