yaaa this is a fuckin divisional game and the titans won their last 3.

these teams always play close and the titans are blowing out teams. just like the texans blew out buffalo the titans did as well only with their official qb.vince young will snatch the texans. the titans face arizona and indi for the next 2 weeks after this and they know damn well they will be losing both games sooo they will try their best to win this game and that means for them to keep it close. plus have you seen all the injuries that happened in the texans colts game?!? that should be a huge factor. 

Slaton wants his job back and they're giving him the chance.  You can have the points.  2 Td's for Slaton and at least another passing TD for Schaub.  Tenn has been playing well, but I don't see them keeping it any closer than a TD in this one.

Texans win by a TD.  Tennessee a 67% public favorite and the line moves from +3.5 to +4.5.  Tennessee has been playing good football as of late, including Vince Young, but they have to win practically every game to smell the playoffs.  The Texans would love to spoil that opportunity for them.  Tennessee's secondary will not contain the Texan receivers and the Texans run D (allowing 76 ypg last 3) will hold Chris Johnson to around 100 yards.  I will take the Texans -3.5, -4.5, or -5.5. 

Tennessee - 20

Houston - 27

I'd get in early, I think this line shifts too 3 by kick off, Titans are hot, and DB's are getting healthy, 3 points feels right, for this game, Texans in flux at RB, and Titans are red hot, and have a great coaching staff.

Tenn +4.5

Probably take Sunday off and just PLAY HOUSTON -4.5

Being a Texans fan, I probably won't make a play on the game, but that line, coupled with the Titans coming off 3 wins, seems just too fishy for me.

If one wants to describe the Titans defense as improved then I guess we should call the Texans defense reborn.  Chris Johnson will not come anywhere close to the amazing performance he had in week 2.  VY does bring an extra threat to the QB position, but the Texans should be able to put Pollard in the box, as Heimerdinger's offense consists of primarily short to medium routes.   

Texans rarely play on the national stage, but when they do, they show up, but 4.5 is a tough one.  If the O/U is at 49 I really like the under.

Early lean

Tennessee / Under

everyone still high on dallas? lol

titans are the play here.
