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 backers seem to forget how the Titans lost a hard fought battle against the defending champs in the opening game that really took the stuff out of them. I'm sure after that loss Tennessee didnt give Houston the effort it needed to in week 2 to win that game. Expect the Titans to give everything they got tonight and the better football team with the better scheme will win this game. I like Tennessee to win this game outright but I will take the 4.5 and be extremely happy with it. If your looking for a bailout winner this is your game as Tennessee is the right play to bring home the cash!!!

TENNESSEE +4.5..................20 UNITS
