Texans-Raiders
The Texans got a reality check last week when they were beaten up on there home field by there interstate rivals just like I had predicted. Now the Texans are 2-1 and could easily be 1-2 if not for a big comeback and OT win at Washington. The Raiders are 1-2 and opposite the Texans should be 2-1 if not for a missed chipshot fg last week that would have defeated the Cards on the road. Raiders pass defense is 2nd in league allowing just 127 yds through the air while Houston ranks last in that catergory. Gradkowski makes this Raiders team much better than when Campbell starts and Oakland is never an easy place for visiting teams. Take the Raiders +3.5 -115, they may win outright.
Seahawks-Rams
Seattle is the worst 2-1 team I have ever seen, in both there wins they have been outgained in total yds and if not for a couple special teams and defensive plays they would be 0-3. The Rams come in off a big win over Washington and are starting to find a groove on offense, Im not even concerned that RB Jackson may not go as Darby will fill in just fine if needed. Bradford is the real deal and will expose the 30th ranked pass defense today. Rams win outright +118
Bengals-Browns
Bengals are a bad fav and the Browns are a good dog, getting 3 points at home in a division rivalry where if you look closely the Browns haven't been that bad this year leading 2 of the 3 games this year at the half. Hillis went for over 100 yds last week vs the Ravens and he should have a good game again today. Expect a big play or two on special teams by Cribbs and a cover and maybe an outright win by Cleveland today. Take the Brown eyes +3 -120
