Get it  Mac....

This is 3-1 at worst 

Leaning Rams and Bills 

Agree with all.  The so called experts love Cincy and Green Bay !  Would like your opinion on over/under on these games.  I like 3 overs.  KC and Buffalo under.  This is for a pool All games Sides and totals all the way through the Superbowl!  $500 a man.  12 guys - winner take all! I  was 6-6 last week. Leader is 8-4.  I was 2-4 on totals.  Never bet them.  Anyone else  have any advise?  Open for suggestions!

 Macwestie I’m with you on Ten and Buf.

Good luck MAC

Tennessee  minus the points I like it I have it bol

GL @Rudyj 

That's why I don't bet Totals rarely do

It's hard enough for me to play ATS only which I've been struggling with

I'll just keep plugging away here

Anyone seen the assassin movie "WANTED" w/ James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie & Morgan Freeman very exciting 

@Macwestie1

 Thanks MAC.  Feel the same way on totals. Too any variables weather  injuries and now covid .

Anyone have a Agree/Disagree opinion on this article? 

I read this in an article I may or may not Hedge my Bengals/ Titans in another bet before the weekend

Bengals -Titans betting preview: Lay the points in Henry's potential return?

The AFC's No. 1 seed returns to action following a week off as the Tennessee Titans host the Cincinnati Bengals at Nissan Stadium. With Derrick Henry's potential return Saturday, and the line settling on Tennessee -3.5 after opening below a field goal, one question looms for this handicap: How valuable is Henry?

Although he has a combination of size, durability, and breakaway speed rarely seen before in the NFL, when it comes to betting markets, the answer is a long one.

The Titans opened as -2.5 point favorites Sunday night only to see money instantly come in to push the line through the key number of -3.

Here are the Titans' game-by-game rushing stats with Henry healthy:

In eight games with Henry, Tennessee's rushing attack averaged 149.3 yards and scored 10 touchdowns. After Henry's foot surgery, the Titans foolishly signed Adrian Peterson but turned to younger options three contests into that failed experiment.

Here's how their assortment of runners did in the final six games of the season:

A combination of D'Onta Foreman, Dontrell Hilliard, Jeremy McNichols, and Ryan Tannehill ran for 164.2 yards per game, adding seven touchdowns.

It's a compliment to the Titans that whether or not they get Henry back - he was cleared for contact Tuesday - they'll be able to run the football because they almost always can. Henry's perceived added value comes from him doing the work of three mortals when healthy, and it's amazing to watch. However, the Titans are 4-3 this season when running for more than 175 yards. Ground success hasn't translated to wins and covers for Tennessee.

On top of that, the 4-3 record came against Russell Wilson, Carson Wentz, Zach Wilson, Trevor Lawrence, Mac Jones, Ben Roethlisberger, and Tua Tagovailoa. It may have been worse, but Wilson (overtime win) and Jones (23-point loss) were the only two of those quarterbacks to finish in the top 20 in passing yards per attempt. Joe Burrow led the NFL in that category this season.

Here's how Tennessee's defense fared against the top 10 quarterbacks in that category:

The Chiefs had an infamously strange effort in Week 7, and there were fewer things more painful to watch than the two interceptions Stafford threw on a Sunday night in Los Angeles.

The line move across the key number is based on the likelihood the Titans can run for big yardage against the Bengals and record a comfortable victory. The problem is expectations have increased, and with the Bengals getting over a field goal, it means a three-point Titans win turns a Tennessee bet from a win into a loss. And since the conservative Titans are content with playing out the game to secure a close win, the Bengals become more valuable.

Pick: Bengals +3.5

 I believe the Titans are a better team with Henry.  Stats can be misleading though.  Titans get little respect.  Everyone talking about KC or Buffalo.  I would not be shocked if the Titans go to and win the Superbowl.  No I'm not from Tennessee.  I'm a Browns fan.

@Rudyj 

I'm starting to believe the Titans are a possible Dark Horse to make it to the Super Bowl as well. 

@Macwestie1

 I’m already with you on all except Rams.  I’ve gotta go with Brady til the NFC championship at least.  Rams looked great but Arizona just sucked.  BOL brotha! 

With ya on the Bills. Good luck Mac.
