If you have to bet one game on Sunday what is it and why?
 
I like Houston +3.5 at home. Tennessee has looked flat lately and Houston's offense has been pretty good. Steve Slaton has done an excellent job and Andre Johnson is probably the best receiver in the league. I think Tenn will have a hard time stopping this offense.

KOA, Apparently you didn't watch the Browns game. The were flat!! They played against a 3rd string QB qho threw picks and that set up excellent field position....Yes, flat.... and Houston will cover.

Koa...Last two games were against Cleveland and Detroit...they put up 47 on Detroit...How about the home game against a mediocre Jets team....13 points?

I agree with you 100%, but isn't San Fran the team with that one W against Buffalo?

Zeb, I like the play...I think more of the public will take San Fran because they think Singletary has this team in a groove now. Line opened at -6 to -6.5 at most books and has hung steady. It will be interesting to watch the line movement.

I am going to say the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road +3 against the Baltimore Ravens.  This is a battle of defenses with the Steelers having the edge.  In a matchup like this I look at a few things, what defense do I trust more, and most importantly who has the better Quarterback.  Obviously in this head to head matchup the Steelers have a big advantage with a pro bowl QB in Ben Roethlisberger against a rookie in Joe Flacco who has been playing well in his defense, but has never been in a game of this magnitude.  Steelers +3

I like Ten -3.  Jeff Fisher will coach em up and either buster QB will be mistake prone against the TEN defense.  The Titans need this game if they want the AFC to go through Nashville with games against Pit and Indy coming up.  I also believe that the Titans will shut Slaton down as he was the last RB to hit the century mark against them.  The only offense the Titans havent shut down this year is the Jets.

Packers 38-10
 
a) Jags have QUIT
b) Rodgers amd McCarthy need a WIN
c) The defense was abused by Houston and need to rebound or the DC will be fired.
d) Special Teams coach is under fire as well. 
e)  Ted Thompson (Packers GM) is looking at who to keep and who to get rid of and the players know they need to step up.

Miami plays down to their opponents. Oakland and Seattle at home were a good examle of that...

Gb raped me last week.. told myself i wouldnt put money on the ever again!! even if they were taking points against Det.. but i guess i lied and took GB large this week -2 against the Jags.. no Fred Taylor and Matty Jones that adds to an already depleted Jags team.. i know GB hasn't been playing great as of late, but i cant see this hurt GB team lose to a really bad Jags team.. Driver and Jennings go 100+yrds this game.. Ryan grant will gash this Jags team as well to a tune 100+ yrds

The more I look at GB the more I like them. I think the line will probably go up to -3 before game time.
