Sunday night winners 25-Dime Texans... (if line is 3 1/2 you buy the 1/2 and lay -3..if line is 3 you buythe 1/2 and lay 2 1/2) - This is going to be a great day for MattSchaub and Andre Johnson.
Facing the 27th rated pass defense in the NFL minus yet another starterwhen Mike Brown went down Monday night against the Packers, it's goingto be a long day for this Bears secondary.
People are down on the Texans after last weeks implosion at Oaklandagainst the Raiders but coming off their huge home win over the Titansthe week before, who could blame them for a letdown.
In a nutshell, making Houston a 7 point road favorite for the firsttime in franchise history was a bit too much to ask after beating theTitans 13-12 but in my opinion, they make up for it right here today.
This may seem like a very simple way to look at this game but if youcan beat the best team in the NFL at home 2 weeks ago by 1 you sure ashell can take care of this fraud of a Bears team by more than 7.
I don't know about you but were you impressed with anything the KyleOrton and the Bears offense did against the Packers Monday night? Iknow I wasn't.
And if you think they are going to find it against this Texans defenseon the road then you have another thing coming considering their last 2road efforts against a quality opponent.
For reference see the 37-3 loss at Green Bay and 34-14 loss atMinnesota. Throw out the road win at the Rams because well, the Ramsare the Rams.
You can make a case for the Bears playing extra hard because they havea playoff spot on the line but let us be honest with one another here,the Bears are about as much a playoff team as I am a nascar driver.
The Texans are just a better team, an improving team, a team that wantsto finish 8-8 as badly as the Bears do and the difference from head totoe will be the Texans offense making plays where the Bears offensecan't.
My 25 dime winner today is the Texans all day long.
10 dime 3-team 10 point teaser #2 in a row - RAVENS / FALCONS / STEELERS - As good a spot to take these 3 favorites down to just win the game.
In my opinion, no way on the planet the Jags hang with this Ravens team which has to win to get into the playoffs.
The strength of the Ravens is their defensive line which plays to theweakness of the Jags, their offensive line. There is no way DavidGarrard will play well enough to engineer any kind of consistentoffensive momentum against Ray Lewis and the boys.
In a must win situation, let's take the Ravens down to a just win cover situation with the 10 point teaser here.
Same goes with the Falcons today. They win and a Saints win over thePanthers delivers a 1st round bye for this resurgent Atlanta club.
Bottom line is the Rams have lost their last 3 road games by 44 at theJets, 19 at San Francisco and 20 at Arizona. Again, as good a spot totake this Falcons team down to under a touchdown against a beaten downteam ready for the season to end.
Lastly, there is no way the Cleveland Browns with Ken Dorsey or BruceGradkowski are going to beat the Steelers today. Pittsburgh could playtheir entire 2nd units in this game and it would be enough to securethe win today.
Let's take all 3 of these squads down with 10 points and put them in a position to just win and let us cash in.
5 dime 2-team 6 point teaser - SAINTS / NINERS - The Saints aregoing to take this Panthers team down to the wire today. A Panthersteam who's defense has given up 45, 31 and 34 points their last 3 roadgames. Not exactly confidence building numbers.
Now I don't know if the Saints defense can get enough stops in theright situation to pull off the upset but in a game that I feel will bedecided in the last few minutes but always good to cover our bases withadding 6 points to our number.
How much can the Panthers have left in their tank after the tough lossat New York? I feel not much and with Drew Brees trying to breakMarino's total yardage mark, a little extra motivation is always goodfor New Orleans.
I understand the Panthers are playing for a first round bye but this isa Saints offense that will exploit this Carolina defense just liketheir last 3 road opponents.
I will take the Saints to around +6 1/2 or +7 points today.
As far as the Niners are concerned, the Redskins are coming off theirown little Super bowl win at home against the Eagles and now travel3,000 miles to play in this game.
They won't be able to run against this Niners defense which is allowingjust over 90 yards a game since Singletary took over. That means JasonCampbell is going to have to win this game.
I don't trust him as far as I can throw him considering this offense is averaging just over 16 points a game this year.
Let's take the Niners to just win along with the Saints around a touchdown and roll the dice.
