Texans vs. Titans 

The Titans will be starting rookie Zach Mettenberger at quarterback on Sunday.  This will be his first start and facing J.J. Watt right off the bat will be a daunting task for the rookie.  However, Mettenberger does have some talent and he will have some highs as well as lows in this game.

But I expect the Texans to come out on top in this AFC South matchup.  Neither team is an offensive juggernaut so it will be close, but Arian Foster and the Texans will get the win on the road.         NFL Picks
