The Tennessee Titans will go with Rusty Smith at QB here, and its about as good a spot as possible for him to get his first start. The Texans' defense is the worst in the league, and with Chris Johnson piling up yards on a soft Houston front he should have some time off play action to do an adequate job. Often when teams have an apparent downgrade on offense, we see the defense rise to the occasion, playing focused with a sense of urgency. The Titans can get a lot of pressure on Matt Schaub, as they have recorded 30 sacks already on the season. Houston appeared to turn the corner lasy year breaking the .500 mark for the first time, and started 4-2 this season. But they have now dropped four straight games. They are the only team in the NFL to allow 24 or more points in every game. And, it's only gotten worse as the season progresses. They have allowed 29 or more in each of their last six. This is too many points to be giving from a team that has dropped their last four games and is allowing 30+ a game over their last half-dozen. I'm on Tennessee here.
