Jayhawks vs Mountaineers NCAA Football Spread/Handicapping
Hard to believe but things have actually gotten worse this year for the Jayhawks as they will likely finish with fewer victories for the second season in row.

Texans vs. Titans has a nice ring to it but it shouldn’t be much of a game this year. Houston appears to be the league’s most complete team and has been cooking on the road so far – a perfect 5-0.

Houston
They are both good and lucky as they have won their last two games in overtime in what is becoming a very special season. They are looking to beat up on the franchise that moved so they could come into existence…again.
Running back Arian Foster has gotten better as the season has progressed. With 90 or more yards in each of the last 5 games he has topped 1000 already for the third season in a row. He gives them great balance which makes QB Matt Schaub’s job even easier.
They both benefit from the fact that more often than not the defense sets them up well and enables them to follow the game plan. They don’t really do anything special other than beat you.
Houston is 7-4 ATS so riding them has been a pretty good proposition all year long. Despite winning all their road games they are just 3-2 ATS as the visitor. It might have something to do with them always being the favourite. In fact, they have only been the underdog once this season. Looking at their schedule that is likely to happen only one more time on a visit to New England.
Tennessee
Tennessee decided to shake things up by firing their offensive coordinator. [soliloquy id=”82219″]
Even if the offense improves they are unlikely to change their fate which is another season out of the playoffs. The Titans dug themselves a hole by losing 4 of their first five games and have been treading water ever since. A little pride against a division opponent might come out this week but I don’t see any upset potential.
The Titans might have hit a new low by losing to Jacksonville last week – despite outgaining the Jags. When I was looking at the numbers I was surprised to see that just only one team has given up more points than Tennessee. They don’t know what they are doing at quarterback but with Chris Johnson toting the rock they still have big play potential. He was awful early in the year but last week was the first time in more than a month he didn’t crack 90 yards.
Other than being at home and perhaps catching the Titans off guard with some new wrinkles to their attack there is not much to like about the Titans this weekend. Last year they lost to Houston 41-7 at home and that was a better Titans team. They lost to Houston 38-14 early in the season and this one could be the same or worse.
Spread Pick: Houston -7
O/U Pick: Under
Score Prediction: Houston 27 – Tennessee 9
The Vikings have been squandering their hot start with their recent poor play….but they still have a nice opportunity to steal a playoff spot, especially if they can emerge from Green Bay victorious this weekend.
With the Falcons win last week over the Buccaneers they have the NFC South, pretty much wrapped up, but their only loss of the season was against the visiting Saints.
The Big East is down this year with no teams ranked in the top 25, but still the winner of this game will bag a BCS bowl berth.
Other than a pair of blips on the road (two-game losing streaks in Florida and out west), the Brooklyn Nets are starting to raise a few eyebrows in the Association.
Mindful that what happens in November rarely has anything to do with what happens when snow melts in the north and real NBA basketball starts in mid-April.
Week 12 is over! Time to reflect on yet another scintillating slate of games in the ever-changing NFL. The top dogs keep winning but some in less-than impressive fashion.
A lot is expected of the N.C. State program this year and so far they haven’t delivered much. They got hammered by an Oklahoma State team that features a couple of great players already but I am more distressed by a near home loss to UNC-Asheville.
Tennessee absolutely whipped Miami two weeks ago before their bye week. Not that they needed it, but they have had two weeks to prepare for the League’s weakest team.
Green Bay has shaken off some early season jitters to begin reminding us why they are among the NFL elite. They have won 4 games in a row, all by nine or more points, and are looking for some revenge in this contest as they visit the New York Giants.
The Bengals (2-2) have got back in the playoff picture by winning their last 2 games and getting back to .500. There is a good chance they will get over .500 in this game since the Raiders (3-7) have lost 3 straight games and are only 1-4 on the road this season.
The Bills broke a three game losing streak last week against Miami. The win was hardly an impressive feat but the Bills will take what they can get.
The Vikings are not setting the world on fire but they are still in the hunt for a playoff spot as they head down the stretch. They are coming off their bye week and with the extra prep and Chicago missing their starting QB they may be catching the Bears at the perfect time.
Surging Seahawks Battle Slumping Dolphins in Week 12
The Miami Dolphins return home this week with their tails between their legs to take on the Seattle Seahawks – a team that has proven dangerous in every aspect of the game the last few weeks. For Miami, it’s simple – win or kiss you improbable playoff hopes good-bye. For Seattle, it is just as simple – win and keep your realistic playoff hopes alive.
Battle of the NFC West Basement – Cards Host Rams in Week 12
It was only a few short weeks ago that the NFC West was looking like the most improved division in Football with all but one of the teams overachieving. That was then, this is now!
