But only one of these teams gets it done on both sides of the ball.

Tennessee has clinched the AFC South on the strength of its top-flight defense, but the Titans also feature Kerry Collins (81.4 passer rating) in place of the wayward Vince Young, plus Chris Johnson and LenDale White at running back.

Houston’s offense has two capable starters in Sage Rosenfels (79.5 rating) and Matt Schaub (93.1), the latter returning from injury last week to beat Green Bay as 7-point road dogs. And rookie RB Steve Slaton (5.0 yards per carry) has taken the reins from veteran Ahman Green. But Houston’s defense is one of the worst in the league, leaving the Titans pegged as 3-point road faves (-125) for Sunday’s matchup.
