2. Texans vs. Titans

Between the Houston Texans looking to possibly move up in the AFC standings along with the Tennessee Titans hoping to officially clinch the final Wild Card spot, this AFC South battle has all sorts of playoff implications written all over it.

All season, the Texans have been one of the most difficult teams to figure out in the NFL since there are some weeks in which they look like a serious contender, only to struggle the next.

But with the playoffs set to get underway, the most important factor for Houston is they already have the division locked up, and will get to host at least one home playoff game.

Meanwhile, the Titans quickly went from being one of the hottest teams in the NFL to losing two tough games in a row to the Texans and New Orleans Saints, although it all still worked out thanks to some help from the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Despite Houston finishing on the winning end the first time around a few weeks ago, the Texans realize the Titans will be giving all they have in this game since a loss could result in the team watching the playoffs from home.

Even if the Texans may appear to have the early advantage of playing at home, the Titans have already pulled off a few impressive road wins this season, and would love to earn their most important one on Sunday to clinch a playoff berth.
