Official Texans @ Titans Game Thread, 10/26/2014

We may be 4-4 and we may be second in our division (a game behind the Colts) but we have the fifth-worst record in the conference.

Tennessee (2-6), Jacksonville (1-7), NY Jets (1-7) and Oakland (0-7) are the only sub-.500 teams in the AFC.

By contrast 9 teams in the NFC are sub-.500.

So, yes, we have Tennessee once and the Jaguars twice but among the rest of the opponents, Cleveland might be the only other opponent where we could be considered a favorite and that might be a stretch.

I agree with all of that. I just think we play in the worst division in football and the two teams below us are jokes.

Or look at it this way, if I set the over/under on 6.5 based on your prediction, what would you bet?
