    I stated earlier that this game has all the "fixings" of a trap game ... Still like the life long Homer that I am , I believe that we'll win this game and end our season the way we started it. With a 5 game winning streak !!!

    Yes we won in OT last game, but Tannehill had just as good of game as Watson did, Henry ran wild, we didn't have Corey Davis, they had Will Fuller, he's out this time.
    Coming off an embarrassing loss to GB, division on the line, Titans will win.

    Like its been said on here many times, if we can't win under these circumstances, we don't deserve to be in the playoffs.

    Injury Report

    On the Texans’ side of the ball, left tackle Laremy Tunsil is doubtful with an ankle injury. I wouldn’t expect this anemic pass rush to take advantage of that anyways.
    ......................................
    Let’s be honest. The Texans haven’t won many games even with Watson at the helm, but him sitting on the bench would have been a welcome sight for Titans fans. There’s no doubt that Watson and his supporting cast are talented enough to put up points in bunches against this sorry excuse for a defense — Heck, the Titans needed overtime to pull out a 42-36 win over the same Texans earlier this season.

    Very accurate assessment of this pathetic defense honestly

    they haven't cared for 16 weeks, I don't think one little blurb is going to make the difference in their effort or ability

    Man, if our Defense hasn't gotten it by now, I doubt an entire board full of stuff like this will do anything.

    We could definitely lose this game, so we are in the same page there. But this is not a “trap game.” A win and you are in is never a trap game. It just doesn’t fit the definition.

    Correct, its a "must win game" if we "overlook" Houston, season is probably over (still a chance of playoffs with some help...we control our own destiny, end it with a win)
    Since the last game ended in OT, can't claim to be the "stronger" opponent.


    "A trap game is when a stronger opponent overlooks a weaker opponent and the weaker opponent overcomes adversity potentially winning the game. This especially happens when the stronger team is on their home turf with their fans behind their backs."
