The Tennessee Titans (3-13) will host the Houston Texans (9-7) at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee on Sunday afternoon.
Opening the week, the Titans were listed as 4-point home favorites but that line has dwindled a bit and is now +1.5 for the Texans as of this writing.
Let’s take a look at who some of the experts and insiders around the league are taking in the Week 18 matchup:

Other experts and analysts from around the league are similarly split with 70 percent picking the Texans to win, per NFL Pickwatch.
