Houston is the better team on both sides

Its defense held Indianapolis to 19 and its offense just scored 30 with Collins.

Tennessee's defense has kept games close

Twenty-four points allowed to Baltimore and 12 to the Giants.

Winless teams on the road

Houston's four losses include two by a field goal or less, so the margin is 6, not more.

A Medium road lean. The model trusts Houston's talent over Tennessee's home field.
