Moe Williams didn't practice Monday and we know the top two guys are out. No Kleinsasser, an injured and non-existent defense which made Grossman look good, poor history away from home, dubious head coach.

Houston is gaining confidence and Dunta Robinson's performance on Sunday was the shot-in-the-arm that the defense needed.

Feels as if the line is supposed to be Houston -1 or so. THIS, IMO, is an example of a public line.

Opinions?

This game looks like a trap. The public is already over 80% on Minny. At first glance, I was going to play Minny myself, but I'm not so sure now. Houston looked a lot better last week and you could see the confidence growing. Minny is coming off a bye though and the way Culpepper is playing, I don't think they even need a running back!

4 points in Houston = 10 points at Minny

Minny struggled to beat a banged-up Bears as a 12 point home fav. This Texan team is about 3 points better than THAT Bear team. Minny has lost their last 7 AFC road games by an average of 12 points.

It doesn't look like a trap...just a bad line BECAUSE they know the public will bet MINNY and they are making them pay up. A line dealt to pros would be more like 3 even.

How would Manning or McNabb do with a weak RB...not that well. Culpepper's no different.

Culpepper is different because imo he is a much better runner than Manning, but about the same as McNabb...maybe slightly better. I can see Minnesota winning this game 34-27 or something like that, but they could also very easily not cover the 3-4 or lose su. Not sure if I'll be playing this one or not, but I'll probably stay away. The public is not always wrong...in fact if you look at last week they won more than lost.
