In the Titans last three games, they have said road loss to the Redskins by 2, home win by 2 over the Jags and home loss to the Browns by 1. Goes without saying the Texans could use a W right about now. Will Jadeveon Clowney make his return this week?

TV = FOX (channel 26 local), noon, Sunday Oct 26

Announcers = Kenny Albert, Daryl Johnston, Tony Siragusa

The line = Texans by 1 to 2.5

------------------------------------------------

Late game in the Houston area (and most of the nation):

Indianapolis @ Pittsburgh -- Jim Nantz, Phil Simms

SNF = Green Bay @ New Orleans

MNF = Washington @ Dallas

Why is Fox and not CBS carrying an AFC game with two AFC teams ?

On the news this morning that Brian Cushings knee is acting up and he will rest atleast this game. Of course we were all observing this problem.

From the Chron last week:

The Texans game at the Titans on Sunday, Oct. 26, will air on Fox stations, including KRIV (Channel 26), as part of the league’s new “cross-flexing” scheduling system.

The Houston-Tennessee game (noon kickoff) normally would air on CBS stations, including KHOU (Channel 11), but the league moved it to Fox while also moving the Seahawks-Panthers game, which normally air on Fox, to CBS.

This is the first year the NFL has allowed cross-flexing for Sunday afternoon games. The policy is designed, the league said, to ensure larger audiences for more attractive games — in this case, Seattle against Carolina, both of which are 3-2 this season.

The new policy began last week with New England-Buffalo being moved to Fox from CBS. Later this season, the Redskins-49ers game on Nov. 23 will air on CBS, and the Bears-Lions game on Thanksgiving Day will air on CBS.

Reports are that Clowney will be cleared to play this Sunday.

Wilson and Cam over Fitzy and Mettenberger? What's wrong with these people?!?!

I'll look it up later but I feel quite sure that the team's tight ends have more penalty yards than receiving yards.

[popanot]

Ugh... FITZY. So fun to watch.

[Big Texas]

Fitzpatrick is a moron...Lacanfora is tweeting ready for Mallet....he can't do any worse...

[popanot]

Just imagine what this offense would be like without Foster. He has carried this team offensively every game so far.
