Best NFL Handicapper and Top Sportsbook Preview ESPN MNF
Nov 23rd, 2009

The top sportsbook Bodog and the top football handicappers at OffshoreInsiders.com each have a preview of the Monday Night Football game between the Texans and Titans.

Here is the one-stop shop for both perspectives. We start out with OffshoreInsiders.com

Against the spread records: Tennessee is 9-1 as underdogs of 3.5-10 points but they’ve dropped five straight against teams with a winning record. The Texans are 6-0 off ATS loss. The underdog has covered 9-of-12 in the series.

Over/under angles: Houston has gone over 12-3 off straight up loss and over 8-1 after getting less than 90 yards rushing last game.

The Titans are 3-6 straight up and 4-6 to the number but they’ve won and covered three straight. Houston is 5-4 straight up and 5-3-1 against the spread, but just 1-2 at home versus the sportsbook number.

Houston has gone under the total in 5-of-6. Tennessee has gone over 6-of-8.

The Titans average a remarkable 5.3 yards per rush against teams normally allowing 4.2 but only 5.8 yards per pass to 6.3. However, the winning streak occurred after Vince Young took over for the inept Kerry Collins.

Defensively the Titans are allowing 4.4 yards per rush teams versus teams normally getting 4.2 and 6.0 yards per play to 5.8.

Houston is inept running the ball getting a pedestrian 3.3 yards per rush against teams normally allowing 4.2. However the Texans pass for 7.8 passing yards per attempt against teams normally allowing 6.5 and 5.9 yards per play to 5.5.

They allow 4.6 yards per rush to 4.4, 6.6 yards per pass to 6.4 and 5.8 yards per play to 5.5.

Now to Bodog:

Houston Texans will be the latest team to attempt to slow down the NFL’s leading rusher, but Chris Johnson hopes to carry the Tennessee Titans to a fourth straight victory in tonight’s AFC South matchup.

NFL betting odds have the Texans listed as a 4-point favorite.

Houston needs victories in order to keep pace in a crowded wild-card race, but a win over the Titans looks like a much tougher task than it did a few weeks ago.

Tennessee has gotten healthier on defense and regained its confidence after a disastrous start, going 3-0 since Vince Young replaced Kerry Collins at quarterback.

The matchup may hinge on Houston’s ability to contain Johnson, who has totalled 495 rushing yards, 136 receiving yards and six touchdowns during the winning streak.

Tennessee has an 8-1 edge in turnover margin during its win streak, with Young playing responsibly.

Tennessee is 5-2 in the city that the former Oilers used to call home.
