NFL Odds, Picks & Predictions: Texans vs. Titans
Texans vs. Titans
At this point, C.J. Stroud will be a game-time decision. I'd advise anyone looking to bet on this game to look at injury reports continuously to see if Stroud will play. Right now, it's more likely that Davis Mills will get the start. Mills didn't do enough last year, or the Texans would've drafted someone other than Stroud with the No. 2 pick. I wouldn't trust Mills with this offense. Tank Dell is out for the season. But also Nico Collins and Noah Brown are listed as questionable for this game. Even if Stroud plays, it likely won't be pretty. We've seen other quarterbacks come back early from concussions and struggle. Look at Brock Purdy, for example, in a couple of games before the bye week earlier this year. Meanwhile, the Titans just earned a massive come-from-behind win over the Dolphins. That's going to add some hype and momentum to the locker room. The Titans certainly believe in Levis if they didn't before. Let's take the Titans at -3.
Pick: Titans -3 (-110)

What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting "against the spread" refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
