TENN hasn't beaten anyone, granted they are better, but they WERE 0-6!!!:scared Can't get much worse than that, and they lost to the PATS 59-0. The same PATS team that lost to INDY, the same INDY team that needed a missed FG at home to get by this HOU team. TENN will be without their top WR in GAGE, so who is Vince going to throw it to?? :shrug:
HOUSTON is coming off a bye, has had time to work on SLATON's hands (hopefully) but if not, we know they have a capable backup in MOATS. HOU already beat this team in TENN Week 2, 34-31 when TENN was hurting on DEF. Obviously HOU worked on stopping Chris Johnson who burned them for almost 200 in the first game, but without the down field threat of GAGE, I can see HOU being able to limit Johnson to some degree. Also, since HOU started out as the worst defense in the NFL vs the run, they have regrouped and have been the BEST RUN DEFENSE over the past 4 games. They limited Benson to 44 yards in 16 carries in beating CINC, Gore to 32 in 13 in beating SAN FRAN, Lynch to 43 in 9 in beating BUF, and Addai had 63 yards in 14 carries in the IND win. I would call that an adjustment after giving up over 200 yards rushing their first 3 games.
TENN has won 3 straight vs poor teams, and they have been doing it with DEF mostly. VINCE has not had to keep a drive going yet. Either JOHNSON rips off a long run to score, or the DEF gives him a short field and he hands it to Chris J. Vince is averaging 169 Yards passing in these 3 wins, and people point to 35 PTS a game.... please. :nono: The BUFF game was tight until Johnson breaks off a run to score the go ahead before the DEF ran in TWO TDS at the end. Without those scores, it's 27-17 not a 24 point blowout. SAN FRAN turned it over 4 times as well. TENN is playing better defense, but so is HOU. Both teams hit for 30 in the first one, I'm guess neither gets to that number tonight. If HOU did their homework and keep Johnson/Young contained on the option, they can win this game easy as long as Slaton doesn't fumble it away.
My thinking is both teams may be a bit conservative early on go to the half at something like 10-7. If HOU has shown they can limit C Johnson, then take HOU at -1/PICK for 2H and load up on the OVER 24 or 25.
We shall see... :SIB
HOU +3 & Under 55.5

Good luck! :SIB
First one in NFL this year... I think HOU uses the bye week to work on stopping the YOUNG/JOHNSON option and no way YOUNG can beat HOU with his arm alone. SLATON will come back strong tonight and HOU will throw it when they need to, but I look for a solid HOU win as they control the clock and the ball. IF HOU has less than 3 TO's, they win by 10 or more...

Will they do that tonight, no.... not likely. :nono: TENN will gain much more than that, but not in 60-80 yard bunches that they have been getting each week against the likes of JAX and BUFF. HOU had the bye week to watch the tape of JOHNSON shredding them in their first match up. Granted, we now have YOUNG to contend with instead of the crippled Collins, but I still don't see Vince beating HOU through the air. He has yet to prove he can do that, and TENN doesn't have the DEF they had last year that they can sit back and run the ball and rely on their defense to keep them in the game.
