Apologies for the lateness of the column this week, but I’m in New Orleans to watch the Sugar Bowl tomorrow. I’m also sweating a couple top-15 FFPC Main Event teams, including one that’s currently in third. I’ve been a little less focused on the lines this week.
We’ll do two Underdog winners next week, but I want to get a quick piece out with some picks for today. As always, all minus bets are bet to win 1 unit, all plus bets are risk 1 unit.
Tennessee Titans at Houston Texans
Pick: HOU -3.5, -115 (FanDuel)
C.J. Stroud returns in time for a must-win divisional matchup against the Titans, with Houston currently tied for the top spot in the AFC South after Jacksonville has dropped four straight. Nico Collins is also healthy and ready to go.
For the Titans, Will Levis is back and practiced in full all week, but I’m not convinced that’s a positive relative to Ryan Tannehill.
