Just saw this on sportsbook.com and it was intriguing. Mcillroy -240, Sanchez +160 and tebow +600. Thoughts?

I placed a future on jj watt to win at 50-1 and its now down to 12-1 and was as low as 6-1. Didnt think it was very likely but figured hed run away with the record for PD's from a d lineman and he has already tied it. Also, i think hell be in the discussion if he ends up leading the league in sacks. I need him to have a huge game on MNF next week against the pats and the texans to get the 1 seed and i think i might have a shot if peyton stumbles a little bit.

Line opened at 4.5 and now is already up to 6.5. Get it before it goes over 7. With 10 days to rest and gameplan look for the texans to come out and make a statement against a bad titans team virtually playing for nothing.

Watching Kubiak for all these years I know he hated Sunday's game against Jacksonville more than he hate the game against Green Bay. All that throwing just makes him sick. He will do everything he can to run the ball this Thursday and chew as much clock as humanly possible. I would lean the Texans -3 and unload on the under. Just my observation. I think a lot of what the texans do running the ball will depend on how healthy ben tate is and whether or not he plays. Foster has had a huge workload and i think its starting to show a little in his performance compared to 2010 and 2011. Texans need him fresh for the playoffs and if tate is a no go for thursday they might throw more to try and limit fosters touches on a short week. And, with jonathan joseph possibly out this could lead to a shootout if the d-line doesnt get a lot of pressure on stafford. with all that said, i still think the texans d shows up and the o controls the clock like they have all year and 51 is a pretty large number for a texans game.

I wouldnt touch the o/u on this game.. the texans secondary has shown 2 completely different talent levels from game to game and jonathan joseph has an mri scheduled today and going up against the lions without the number 1 corner could lead to a high scoring game for both teams. then again, the texans d could show up and win a low scoring game. only thing i dont like about playing the texans -3 would be traveling on wednesday morning after a long highly emotional game doesnt usually end well for teams.

I cant decide what to take from the texans jags game this past sunday. It could show flaws that the texans have that will hold them back, or it could have just been the texans showing they can win many different ways. I think Henne coming into the game really hurt the texans who had game planned for a less talented Blaine Gabbert. How do the texans rebound from this unexpected tough shootout against the lions on thanksgiving morning?

What type of numbers could lead you to believe the texans would score below their season average at home against one of the worst scoring defenses in the league? Texans scoring D ranks third, Jags scoring O ranks dead last 32. Texans scoring O ranks 6th at over 27 ppg, Jags scoring D ranks 26th at over 27 ppg. Dont quite understand where you got those numbers.

Taking the jags simply because they are 4-0 against the spread on the road this year is just giving money away. Looking at the matchup, how can anyone think the jags will score enough to cover?

I see a lot of people on here taking the jags thinking they can cover just because its so many points and huge dogs have been covering in recent weeks but dont let that fool you. Gabbert is horrendous and without MJD the jags have zero offense. Texans are still trying to gain respect throughout the league and Wade Phillips will have this defense more than ready. I wouldnt be surprised if the jags didnt even score (texans havent given up a touchdown in over 2 games). I see the texans getting up huge in the first half and cruising to an easy 34-6 victory. Dont let the big line trick you into taking an awful team on the road against the texans who have already blown them out on the road this year.

when the texans are up by 4tds in the 4th quarter would u rather have yourself hoping for a backdoor cover on a teaser that gives you 27 points or laughing at the fact you got the texans -3

I really dont see why this is even a question. Yes 27 is a TON of points but if the texans win by 35 points not a single person should be surprised, however if the texans dont win by 4 or more everyone would be shocked.

I think you gotta go with texans -3. Yes it is highly unlikely they win by 27 or more but it's much less likely the texans don't cover 3 points. Either way it's probably safe but this games looks a lot more likely to finish 31-3 or 42-7 than the jags staying within 3 points.
