I'm not a big fan of teasers, but I like one here with Ark St. -1 and FSU -7.

I like the Jags +3.5, hoping Jennings will keep the Colts defense on their heels somewhat. Colts are the better team, but on the road I see them winning by no more than 3.

ATLiens takes it personally when people don't agree with him/her, go read his/her comments in the forum for the Ravens-Texans game a few weeks ago.

You're right, the #1 ranking doesn't mean anything after the first 2 games; however, Houston's defense returns 10 starters from last year's #2 defense, so I don't think it is all that overrated. Peyton is Peyton, but he's going to have to work a lot harder to put up points than he did in his old AFC South days. Same for the Texans, they used to be able to score at will but couldn't stop anyone. With the way the offense is built now, the Texans aren't trying to blow anyone out, and Kubiak seems to be satisfied with long drives (even those that ends in FG's), versus taking shots downfield. I think they will have trouble scoring on the Broncos. I originally liked the under at 46.5, but if it keeps going down the over may be the play. 44.5 scares me, because I see each team scoring around 20-24 points. |

Sorry about that, my thumb hit submit. If the Texans get a lead, Kubiak will try to kill the game, especially against Manning. While Manning does own Houston, the defense is entirely new with a new coordinator and scheme. While Denver can put up points, the Texans make you work for it, and rarely give up big plays. I look for a 23-21 or 24-20 type game.

I am a Texans fan and I'm not touching the side, but I do like the under if it stays at 46.5. Kubiak loves the long drives and doesn't call as many big plays as he used to. If the Texans get a lead,

In too many games,this season and last, games that they should have won-they simply didn't get it done. I label the Texans as a "choke team", based on my wagering experiences. After carefully checking all the stats and subjective scenarios, I can honestly say if there is going to be any possibility of an outright upset win-it's this game with the Bengals. One capper here, says that the Bengals don't belong in the playoffs. That might be true, but then again neither do the Giants or Broncos belong. I might add that if Manning hadn't been injured all season, the Texans would not even be in the playoffs. Come to think about it, both the Ravens, Steelers, and Bengals made the playoffs from the same division! We all know how teams like the Titans, Colts, & Jaguars did this season. I for one am not using the "L" word to describe the Texans chances here. I'm betting lightly on the Texans, and doing a lot of praying! So my opinion is go lightly on this game. Again, the figures say Houston,but sometimes the reality of playing the game is quite different- just saying!
HOUSTON - 3
I will start by admitting I am a big Texans homer, but I keep hearing this stuff about Houston not making the playoffs if Manning had played and I just don't see how people still believe this. Let's assume the Colts beat the Texans in Week 1 in Houston, which is something they didn't do in 2010 with Manning, but for sake of argument let's put the Texans at 9-7 instead of 10-6, with the Colts winning the division. Houston, Cincy, and Tennessee would all be 9-7, but since Manning is a world beater, you have to assume he would sweep the Titans as well right? Dropping them to 8-8. Even if Tennessee stayed at 9-7 Houston has the tie-breakers. I will let Cincy keep their win over the Colts and their 9-7 record. Houston gets in as the last wildcard, and Cincy stays home. People keep acting like Peyton Manning not playing catapulted the Texans into the playoffs, and it's simply false. I think Vegas is begging you to take the points. Texans 24-14. |

Hey guys just wanted to give you a heads up. I live in Houston and follow the Texans about as closely as anyone. I will be shocked if Andre plays this week. On Tuesday he did some light running and rehab, but he has not participated in any team activities, and he himself said that he has been unable to run full speed. A lot of people are saying that this game is a must-win for the Texans, but I think it is a little early for that. Kubiak sat Arian Foster in the Saints game when Arian practiced that week just to be sure the injury would fully heal. Kubiak isn't going to rush Andre back. Personally I would rather the Texans fall to 3-4 and get Andre back for the next 9 games, than play him and get to 4-3 and have to play the guessing game on his health the rest of the year. He may be active for the game, but I would be very surprised if he plays. |

I'm making a bit of a homer pick here, but since 2007 A&M has beaten Texas at home by 16, 15, 17 & 18 points, and has gone 7-3 ATS over the last ten games. I'm hoping the line will get pounded and maybe squeeze out +1.5 or +2 |

Auburn has been good to me all year. I was going back and forth on this game, and had considered making a play on the O/U only. When it was -3 it scared me, but I had to jump on it at -1.5. |

Just my opinion, so not worth all that much, but I think the line is set to induce betting on Ga. Tech +3 and under 56. For those who don't really know much about the two teams other than the type of offense they run, I think it's natural to expect a run dominated, low scoring game, but as someone posted earlier, both these teams can score. My gut tells me Air Force -3 and over 56. I don't play teasers much, and I won't tease across zero. I have been considering GT +9 and over 50. I will most likely go with the over, and hope that one team can get to 34 points. |

Yeah I have always spent time doing research on this site, but didn't really start contributing much until recently. Maybe I should say posting instead of contributing, because the latter implies that I actually have something of substance to bring to the boards, when I tend to be more of a "picker" than a handicapper. |

Va Tech is going to run run run and try to avoid a high scoring game. I like the Under 57.5

Interesting line. I expect the game to be fairly low scoring, so I do like the under. As for the side, I'm betting with my heart a little, but I think A&M wins outright. If LSU runs the ball well, it could be a long night for A&M. However, if LSU is forced to throw, Von Miller is going to cause some serious problems for whatever QB the Tigers throw out there. |
