Matchup: Houston Texans at Tennessee Titans

Spread: Opened Tennessee -3 (-120); now Tennessee -3 (-120)
Total: Opened 40; now 40
PickCenter public consensus pick: 71 percent Houston

Public perception: The Texans clinched the AFC South last week and could be resting starters, but the public is still siding with them. (Of course, part of that is the fact Matt Cassel is starting as Tennessee QB in place of the injured Marcus Mariota.)

Wiseguys' view: The sharps are mostly passing on this relatively meaningless game. The line has wavered just a little bit, dipping to -3 (-110) at a lot of books, but no major movement has taken place.
