3. Arian Foster will out-rush Chris Johnson
This one is a tough one to predict because Forster and Ben Tate will be splitting carries for the second week, but I feel what Chris Johnson has to face in the Texans’ defense.

Last season in two games vs. the Titans, Foster had 38 carries for 124 yards and two touchdowns, while Johnson rushed for 192 yards on 38 attempts, but zero touchdowns. He averaged 5.1 ypc in the two games vs. Houston in ’12.

So this one is an interesting matchup between the two teams, but I still think Foster can out-produce Johnson this week.
