The Tennessee Titans fell to the Minnesota Vikings 23-13 in Week 11 in a game that will likely be remembered for the countless controversial penalties that impacted the game more than the performance on the field.

The Titans did some good things in the competition and would have been very competitive indeed without the interventions of Clete Blakeman and his crew. But in the end it was a loss and now, at 2-8, the Titans are struggling to stay afloat.

This week they face the Houston Texans in the AFC South game. The Texans (7:4) suffered a 34:10 win against the Dallas Cowboys in the Battle of Texas Monday Night Football. Texas is a complete football team and is improving every week.

Number one is that the Texans are the better team, and that's been made loud and clear by the oddsmakers BetMGM. Although the Texans have a short week ahead of them, the Titans open Week 12 as 7.5 point underdogs (already up to +8), the over/under is at 41.5 and the money line is +320.

The Titans will definitely have their hands full on Sunday when they travel to Houston to take on the Texans at NRG Stadium.
