The Tennessee Titans are back to what has made them great in the past. Running the football effectively and playing tough defense creating turnovers. These are the key ingredients in beating a team with a potent passing attack like Houston's. Now that everyone seems healthy and has reagained their swagger the Titans will be hard to beat from here on out. The Titans defense is a defense that returned 10 starters from a year ago that was so dominant. They had 20 ints and 44 sacks in 2008. So it was only a matter of time until they got back to what they do best. In the last 3 games Tennessee has allowed only 195 passing yds net and have picked the ball off numerous times. Matt Schaub also in recent weeks has been picked off 4 times in his last 3 games. So in this matchup its pretty safe to say Tennessee will intercept at least 1. Houston on defense I dont care what most people say they are not gonna be able to stop the combination of Vince Young and Chris Johnson. Johnson last time out against Houston as most people know combined for 300 yds of offense and 3 TD's. That kind of performance by a RB doesnt just happen. Since that early-season game, Johnson has ripped up a lot of defensive fronts, with 170/1091/8 rushing and 30/262/1 receiving to date and 75/495/6 rushing with 14/136/0 receiving over the past four weeks (with 2 TDs in each of his last three games) - he put up 26/132/2 rushing vs. Buffalo last week. Also alot of Houston back... [More]

South Florida comes into this game off a big win against West Vagina. That win was so big for this program!! It proved to the nation and to themselves that they are for real and they can win big football games. What allowed them to win that game was the outstanding play of QB BJ Daniels. In the first couple games Daniels played in, USF coaches didnt allow the Fresman play the way he wanted to. Well against the Neers the USF coaches took the training wheels off of Mr Daniels and it payed off big time!! Both with his arm and legs Daniels sliced and diced an above average WVU defense. He had 117 yards on the ground, 232 yds passing and 3TD's! I honestly havent seen a dual threat QB this dominant since Michael Vick AKA "Ron Mexico". Please dont underrate this guy he is the real deal and maybe the best freshman QB in the country. On defense we all know what USF is capable of. When the offense is playing well these guys are dominant behind Man Children DE's Selvie, Pierre Paul and LB Kion Wilson. Alot of people I'm sure question this defense after getting killed by Pitt and Cincinatti but against those teams the USF offense couldnt muster any production. Now with Daniels allowed to play the way he wants to, they are able to keep their defense off the field and rested enough to make big plays. When USF's offense hums so does their defense. The Bulls are gonna play tonight without WR Carlton Mitc... [More]

THURSDAY
MIAMI (OH) +17.5
Since when did Temple become so good to lay 17 points to a team?? Miami OH has been playing good football lately behind the superb play of Fr QB Zac Dysert. The kid has alot of talent and he is now putting it all together. The team has responded with a big W against Toledo last week and playing UNI tough the week before. What I like about ths matchup the most is that Temple's defense is vulnerable to the pass. This team has only faced 1 passing team all year and that was Toledo with their backup QB. The Owls will have a hard time adjusting to this and I see the Redhawks keeping it close.
FRIDAY
LA TECH +21.5
Boise keeps laying big lines and they keep covering however this week they got dawg who can bite especially at home. La Tech behind their solid running game should be able to move the chains and keep this one close. Boise St has shown they are vulnerable against the run as Fresno St sliced and diced them for 320 yards. La Tech behind stud RB Daniel Porter and WR Philip Livas should be able to keep the chains moving. I expect a high scoring affair with La Tech keeping it within the number.
SATURDAY
NORTH CAROLINA -9
Carolina really impressed me last week with the way they moved the ball against Tech. This didnt look like an offense that had struggled to move the ball befor... [More]
