Houston has clinched the AFC South, and it is locked into the No. 4 seed. Coach DeMeco Ryans says he plans to play the starters only because the team has looked so bad the past two weeks, and he wants to go into the postseason on a more positive note. Still, the Texans looked anything but playoff material, losing 31-2 to Baltimore on Christmas Day while getting outgained 432-211. C.J. Stroud threw for 185 yards with an interception, and Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry had their way with the Texans' defense, with Jackson throwing two TD passes and Henry racking up 147 rushing yards. Tennessee won the first meeting 32-27 as an 8-point underdog, and it held the Texans to just 40 yards rushing on 17 carries. The Texans have problems on the offensive line, averaging 21.8 points per game. Take the Titans.
