AFC South foes clash as the Houston Texans meet the Tennessee Titans Sunday afternoon at Reliant Stadium.

The game begins at 1 p.m. EDT and will be shown by CBS, or you may watch a live stream online by purchasing NFL Sunday Ticket Max.

Looking to extend their best start in franchise history, the 3-0 Texans' dominant and balanced attack was on full display in their 31-25 win against the Denver Broncos last week.

Matt Schaub took a huge hit from Broncos linebacker Joe Mays and lost part of his earlobe, but sat out only one play and finished out the game throwing four touchdowns and 290 yards.

Running back Arian Foster had 25 carries for 105 yards for his second straight 100-yard rushing game.

Receivers Andre Johnson and Kevin Walter each caught a touchdown and combined for five catches and 145 yards against the Broncos.

The Texans defense is now third in the league in scoring defense with 14.0 points per game and second in total defense averaging 255.7 yards

Tennessee set a new NFL record with five scoring plays of 60 yards are more in their impressive 44-41 overtime victory against the Detroit Lions last week.

In a repeat of the famous Music City Miracle, the Titans cornerback Tommie Campbell returned a punt 65 yards for a touchdown after a lateral, receiver Darius Reynaud returned a kick-off 105 yards for a score, and Alterraun Verner snatched up a fumble for a 72-yard touchdown.

Quarterback Jake Locker earned his first win as a starter last week with 378 passing yards and two touchdowns. Locker is also the team’s leading rusher at 67 for the season, as running back Chris Johnson continued to struggle, managing only 24 yards on 14 carries.

Tennessee’s defense must improve on its league high 37.7 points per game, and is also urrendering 150.3 rushing per contest.

Betting Odds: Houston is favored by 13 points; Over/Under: 45 points

Prediction: Even with a confidence boosting shootout with the Lions, Tennessee is no match for the Texans, who are playing like the best team in the entire league. Foster should extend is 100-yard rushing streak in a blowout.

Predicted Score: Houston 35, Tennessee 10
