Tennessee at Houston (11/23/2009)

The OVER is looking better and better also, im thinking of a a GAMEDAY SWITCH too on the sides, but will stay with the Titans, the total score will be around 54.

Yo Yo  Pro  Z  Camel breath , You talk crap we  see.           

Hoping to get Tenn +5 or more and taking the Under 48.5 as well. Total seems too high

Hard to choose a side on this one for me...

Both teams have defenses that have struggled in stopping the run so I expect both teams to put 8 in the box to stuff the run. But by doing that this should open up the passing game for both teams. I don't think both teams will go away from their rushing game but will probably have chances to go downfield with their passing game.

Titans own the better rushing attack with Chris Johnson and he should be effective against the Texans 14th ranked run defense. While the Texans have struggled with their running game I think they can establish a running game if they balance it out with their passing attack.

Vince Young has brought back some life into the Titans so this should be a much better game to watch for MNF.

The Texans rarely has the chance to be in the spotlight and I feel that this game should give them a chance to showcase their team.

Not taking a side but leaning on the over.

looks like we are opposite sides my friend on the total but good luck bro

tenn off if aver. 27 points a game on this winning streak agains bad defenses twice at home.  Their def scored 21 poins. the last game went over when houstons D, which shut down cincy and indy at their houses, have been playing very well and they r home. Also there was two huge runs one was 91 yards and a 71 yard catch. this won't happen again. houston will run the ball 24+ times keeps the clock going. tenn will try to keep houstons offense off the field with long clock runs. very close game love the under. if i had to take a team it would be tenn +4 i think a fg end the game.

Ride that Titan winning streak.

As much as I hate playing the under, I'll have to do so with this game.  Tennessee's defense steps up.

Under 48.5

I cap it at

TENN    21
HOU      24

over phan

TEN -4 and Over 48.5 

Woops- I meant:

Haha good call Coltsalltheway.  Romo is back to being Romo late in the season.  I like Houston to cover here.  They should be able to take care of this one by at least a TD.

aren't these games always settled by 3 points?

I think Titans are peaking at the right time, to make their season respectable.....

Houston is off a bye-week, but the loss to their go-to-tight end is a big loss...

I gotta roll with the Titans getting the points.... cjohnson and vince young have been rolling and Houston defense isn't going to stop them...

 

Titans +4

Over 48.5

Titans are back! Ride 'em until the wheels fall off!!! I think Bookie's right - it'll be a defensive struggle, and whoever has possession and the better kicker at the end wins. Either way at 4 points I'm covered.

"Old" Oilers & UNDAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

..... Also, I predict Bud Adams giving Matt Schaub the double middle finger!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY!!!!!!

Another monday night game decided by second half money...

let's see what happen the first half, then bet large in the second.

GLTA.

Defense will be tight on both sides while the O keeps it conservative till the 2nd half to see how things are going.Texans will step up on the Rush D to slow down Johnson and force VY to pass.When VY starts working the pass expect the blitzs to kick in and keep him scrambling.(expect a fumble or interception here as a result)Tenn will try and keep pressure on Schaub so he doesnt get comfy in the pocket and pick them apart all night.Slaton will have the chance to redeem himself and he'll make the best of it.If he stumbles....Moats is ready and waiting.Both teams possess average Run D's while Tenn's pass D is way below par.I see Schaub taking advantage here.

As such....Under looks good.Houston gets the win but can they cover..The million dollar question eh?

I'm on the under tonight......too high here.  One of these teams won't show up.  Tenn has done it already too much this year and Houston in capable of doing the same.  Somebody is held to 13-17 points.  I'll take the Under 48.5!!!  If Philly and the Bears stayed under 45.5 last night......than this one, by the numbers, certainly should!

What's up Mannix, i really like your picks on a 7 point teaser.

I think Bud Ryan will be flipping the bird again after this one (figuratively speaking). Titans moneyline +170. The fantasy point projections for CJohnson: 132 yards rushing, 35 receiving with 1.6 TDs and if he has those #s, the Titans should be favored to win IMO..... Loving the over here as well.

I'm with you Irish -- I think the under is the way to go here.  Under 48.5. 

 waiting for final line on the game @ 8.

This one got me twisted

Houstons offensive has been coming out explosive in the first half of their past 4 or so home games scoring at least 20 in each one. Assuming Houston can continue to do just that coming out of a bye week, and counting on Tennessee to throw in 7 to the mix.

Over 24 1st half (2)

Houston last 3 Home Games 1st Half
21 0 over SF
20 6 over OAK
21 17 over JAC

Tennessee last 3 Away Games 1st Half
10 17 vs SF
0 45 vs NE
3 27 vs JAC

Houston - 2.5 1st half (1)

Tennessee in the 2nd half is a whole different team.  The coaching staff has been coming out of the half with great adjustments and players have been executing.  Hoping to see the same thing happen today.  Should stay within the chalk.

Tennessee last 3 games 2nd Half
24 3 over Buff
24 10 over SF
17 6 over Jac

Leads me to my 10 point teaser
Tenn +14.5
over 38.5
Gonzaga -2
