Best NFLWeek 18 Same Game Parlays: Texans vs. Titans
(Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook unless noted otherwise)
Texans vs. Titans
- Leg 1: Texans +0.5 1st Half Spread (-130)
- Leg 2: Under 42.5 Total Points (-245)
- Leg 3: Tony Pollard Anytime Touchdown (-145)
The Texans are locked into the AFC No. 4 seed and thus have nothing to play for this week. That fact would explain why the Titans are slight home favorites. Yet, Houston head coach Demeco Ryans said that he'll still play the starters. How long they're out there - especially C.J. Stroud, Nico Collins, and other main offensive starters - is another question.
The full-game spread is off the table because there's a good chance the Texans rest some key players in the second half. However, it would be smart for the Houston offense to go full throttle early on to establish some rhythm ahead of next week's playoff matchup. The Texans mustered only two points against the Ravens last game and have looked a bit lifeless since Tank Dell's season-ending injury vs. Kansas City.
Houston boasts a 12-4 ATS record in the first half, tied for best in the league with Detroit. Stroud and the offense should be motivated to put together a few scoring drives early and establish confidence heading into the postseason. There's clear value on the Texans to lead at halftime if they take things seriously for a quarter or two at least.
At the same time, the Texans could rest some of those key starters in the second half. That means Davis Mills at quarterback and likely a run-heavy game plan to avoid injuries. On the other side, Tennessee is expected to give both Will Levis and Mason Rudolph snaps. The offense has struggled with both under center and should keep things lower-scoring overall. Grab the alt under of 42.5 total points.
Even so, Tony Pollard's contract incentives are hard to ignore this weekend. He needs 83 more rushing yards for a $250,000 bonus and two touchdowns for another $200,000. The murky part of this is that Pollard sat out last week and has been limited in practice. Keep an eye on his status. For now, let's grab his anytime touchdown odds with the yards not available as of this writing.
