Houston comes into this game controlling their own fate, as a win tonight could give them a legitimate shot at a 10 win season. Since this game will have a playoff-like atmosphere tonight, I will of course be fading Vince Young on the road.
But VY isn't the only great reason to fade the Titans here - they just get absolutely carved up by good passing offenses. The Texans come in with the 3rd rated passing offense, while the Titans enter the game with the 31st best pass defense in the league. The only two teams with better air games than the Texans beat the Titans this year by 22 and 59 points! (Colts and Patriots)
But wait, the Titans are "the hottest team in the league"! Yes I heard that on ESPN too, but look at who they have beat - the Jaguars, 49ers, and Bills. Or, David Garrard, Alex Smith, and Ryan Fitzpatrick. Give me a break.
The Titans already won the first meeting by 3 points AT Tennessee, in a game where Chris Johnson absolutely went off going for around 200 yards. I expect the Texans to have a better gameplan for Johnson this time around, get good pressure on VY all night, and hold the Titans to a small number - all while the offense goes up and down the field at will.

you forget to analyze TEXANS HOME GAMES, let's take a look:
7 - 24 vs NYJ (LOSS), 24 - 31 vs JAX (LOSS), 29 - 6 vs OAK (WIN, with Jamarcus Russell as QB), 24 - 21 vs SF (WIN) ... So that is 2 wins (one versus a team with the worst QB in the NFL, and narrow one win versus a struggling NFC team) and two losses versus two AFC competitive teams, now do you see any diference among NYJ, JAX, SF and Tennesse??? are the post bye week-Titans any worse that any of those teams?? I think they aren't ...

should probably throw some of those passing rankings out the window since the titans secondary was killed by injuries, and if the pats game in the snow was a game where the team flat out quit
as far as the VY factor, you do realize he is from houston, and why fade him in the playoff like atmoshphere? he played 1 game in the playoffs and lost at san diego in a game tennessee controlled mostly
