The Tennessee Titans actually began their existence as a football franchise in Houston, as the Oilers in the American Football League. The Oilers won the first two AFL titles and joined the NFL when the two leagues merged in 1970. Because of issues having a new stadium built, the Oilers left Houston and the aging Astrodome behind in 1997, heading to Tennessee. They played in the Liberty Bowl in Memphis for one season and then played at Vanderbilt Stadium for the next season while their home stadium was finishing construction. They kept the nickname “Oilers” until the 1999 season, when they moved into what is now known as Nissan Stadium and became the Titans. On Monday night, they return to their roots and take on the Houston Texans in an AFC South game. The Titans have had a roller-coaster season, losing to the likes of Buffalo but also picking up convincing wins at Dallas and at home against New England, routing the Patriots by 24 — before getting trounced, 38-10, in Indianapolis last week. Check out our NFL betting perspectives on their tilt with the division-leading Texans.
