Fan Duel: Bet the Texans with the points vs. Titans

Tyler Maher writes: "Oddsmakers believe this one is going to be close, but think the Titans will walk away victorious. ESPN's FPI agrees, and so do I. The Titans have hit their stride after a slow start and keep finding ways to win close games, largely on the legs of star running back Derrick Henry. The Texans have an elite running back of their own in rookie Dameon Pierce, though, and boast a superior defense. This game should be tight and even if Tennessee ultimately wins, it won't be by much. My best bet is Houston +3.5 (-110)."
