This is a pretty easy choice, the texans have lost two str8 and are very overdue for a win. This week they will have andre johnson back and obviously with derrick mason being a former titan he is going to show out. Titans coming off a bye week and if you look at this past sundays game teams coming off a bye r 1-3 because due to the cba they no longer have to practice and the bye becomes more of a vacation. Id say Texans money line for a small play and +3 Large. Houston 27, Ten 17. The loss of Kenny Britt becomse more substantial, this is why the titans were trying to acquire brandon lloyd earlier this week.

I agree that the trend didnt come through for the bye week teams last week however I think they could be more signifigent in this weeks games. Hasselback will find someone to throw the ball to this weekend but lets go back to the last time these two teams played last year. Houston came to Tenn is December. None other than Kerry Collins behind center for Tenn, and they almost blow this one out of the water by the end of the first quarter putting up 21 points, winning this game 31-17. Andre Johnson in...Mario williams In...??? Anyway, Hasselback isnt making many mistakes this year, and has shown good accuracy and im sure he hasnt been kicking back with the Red Sox pitchers drinking beer and eating chicken wings on the couch. Theyve had 2 weeks to plan for this matchup, They have won 3 of their last 4 straight up, and were highly overrated as only 3 point dogs to Pittsburg two weeks ago. Schaub hasnt proved a whole lot to me, hes up and down, and 54 year old Kerry Collins beat ya last year.

Pick Tenn-3 and the under at 44.5

Trends for the titans

Texans 1-4 ats last five at Tennessee and Home team is 5-2 ats last 7

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.

  The Texans should win and cover in this spot. However, I' betting lightly here as Houston has a lot of ??????? marks.

HOUSTON  + 3.5

Damn you guys are crazy if you think that the Titans are losing this one, give me some of that crack cuz it must be good.

Titans will dominate with our front 7 and im sure we'll give up a TD or 2 thru the air, but we'll also pick 2 or 3 off.

Andre Johnson is questionable at best too, last i heard Kubiak said he was out and Schaub was in. Whatever that could change by gameday.

Finnegan better hope Andre Johnson doesnt whoop his ass again though.

Anyways doesnt matter............ Titans Roll!!!!!!!!!!!!

Titans 38- Texans 17

Chris Johnson finally has a good game also, after having the bye week to work with Hall.

Andre Johnson is out for Sunday, makes me like the Titans even more

Tennesssee -3

Tennessee - 24                                 Houston - 20

Titans -3                                 under 44.5

Texansare 1-4 ats last 5 in Nashville. I'll lay the small number.

Titans - Under

The other? He must be real good if you don't know his name We'll count on him to replace "Andre Johnson"  ??????????????

......on the road

Good luck with that

TITANS BABY!!
