Probably the image that personifies best the 2013 Tennessee Titans
season is Darius Reynaud (aka: Shutdown Returner) taking the very first
opening kickoff for a safety against the Steelers!! Incredible!! But the
Titans have rebounded brilliantly from Reynauds gaffe going 5-8 thus far
in the season. Last Sunday, the Titans blew a magnificent lead in Denver
only to butchered under a 41-7 Hit the lights on your way out Bronco closing
hatchet losing, after all the bodies were counted, 51-28 to the Denver Studs.
Titans QB Ryan Fitzpatrick couldnt make up his mind whether to go with
throwing gloves or not but Reebok made his decision much easier by suggesting
Only NFL QBs can wear our gloves putting the entire affair away for good.
Fitzpatricks twin brother, Cards QB Carson Palmer, bounced back nicely
last week against the Rams after laying down and playing dead against the
Eagles one week earlier (pssstBe patient with Carsonold habits are hard
to break [ see stints with Oakland and Cincinnati ]ssshhhhh). Both teams
will be jammin at the front door of the Grand Ole Oprey this Sunday. Lets
try to get a handle on these two teams and pick a winner!
Tennessee has talent, a little bit anyway?! Right? The players and Head Coach Mike Munchak say the Titans are really close to winning, but cant seem to close teams out. What? The Titans are 5-8 and just lost their best chance at beating a good ballclub (Broncos) and got ROLLED by 2323 as in; 3 TDs and a safety?! History repeating itselfthe Titans are living in a counter-intuitive reality. Until someone steps up, mans up, and says, Peyton is not playing here in Nashtucky, we suck at QB, we suck at RB, we suck at defense, offense, and pretty much everything else except offering excuses, Water Parks, and humidity. Were going to stop offering excuses and start winning ballgames or well be fired! The Water Parks and humidity will stay. The entire AFC South is terrible with Tennessee, Jacksonville, and Houston feeding easy wins to mid-level Indy team hell bent on blowing up the last 6 games! Houston is so bad, Houston Head Coach Gary Kubiak had his brain go on Operation Shutdown during the season only to recover and get canned last week! WOW!!!
IT’S TIME THAT YOU STOP WASTING
YOUR HARD EARNED CASH! STOP LAYING -110 ODDS; START LAYING ONLY -105 AT
5DIMES!
The Titans are 6-7 against the spread in all games in 2013. Tennessee is a whopping 1-3 against the spread at home in LP Field. The Titans have shined as an Underdog going 4-5 against the spread, and sit sweetly at 3-6 against teams with an above .500 winning percentage.
The Arizona Cardinals come into this game 4-2 against
the spread on the road. Arizona is 5-0 against the spread when favored and
a healthy 8-1 against the spread when facing non-divisional opponents. The
Arizona Cardinals are undefeated (6-0) against the spread when playing teams
with a sub .500 winning percentage. The Cardinals have improved dramatically
since 2010 and their improvement can be found against the spread and straight
up. Be careful playing the Cardinals in the OVER/UNDER; the Cardinals have
bounced up and down more than Miley Cyrus on a waterbed! Lets pick a winnerCmon!
The Arizona Cardinals are getting it done on defense. 7th in points against, 5th in yards against per game, 3rd in interceptions, 3rd in rushing yards against, 5th in rushing touchdowns against, and 3rd in rushing yards per attempt against. Just like rebounding helps a college hoop team on the road, defense is the great equalizer for NFL teams on the road. And lets face it, when Ryan Fitzpatrick is slingin the rock (passing) around the yard, a good defense might equal warm bodies! Im sure Fitzpatrick is a great guyprobablybut he is the NFLs equivalent of Punky Brewsteruninspiring, un-creative, and takes no chances. Fitzpatrick doesnt want or need to win, ANYWHERE, in the NFL. Hes already achieved the impossibleRyan Fitzpatrick has convinced Buffalo, Cincinnati, St. Louis, and now Tennessee that he is an NFL QB! He won’t need to be more than ordinary Sunday though, as the Cardinals are a completely different team away from home. I look for the Titans to scrap out a cover here.
Tims Pick to Cover the Point Spread: Tennessee Titans plus the points.
