Betting Preview Brief
Some say Deshaun Watson will put the team into the title contention. Maybe, but Tennessee has some pretty extensive upgrades during the offseason.
Justis Mosqueda SettingEdge.com writes: “Of Teams which win more than two games over .500 in close games the year before end up losing an average of about four more games the next season.”
Off Season Moves And Impact
The Texans quarterback situation may be worse than in recent seasons, if that is at all possible. They get rid of Brock Osweiller and bring on Deshaun Watson. The return of J.J. Watt after missing much of last season might not be enough. The Texans did little to upgrade on special teams. They also lost one of the best cornerbacks in the league.

Texans 2017: What to Bet
UNDER 8.5 at -115 as the Titans are looking to potentially go OVER the .500 mark and Indianapolis could see some improvements. This Texans team just doesn’t look very good but it’s all about whether these other teams improve.
