Oilers

-6½ 36½

Texans vs. Panthers

Noon Sunday, Ch. 26
·Records: Panthers 6-1; Texas 2-5.
·Last meeting: First meeting.

·The matchup: The Panthers don't try to fool you. It's run, run, run. RB Stephen Davis leads the NFC in rushing with 839 yards and is on pace to shatter the team record of 1,120 yards, held by Anthony Johnson. Carolina is second in the NFL with 161 rushing yards per game, which could create problems for the Texans, who rank 20th against the run (117 yards per game). Of greater concern for the Texans is the absence of QB David Carr, out with an ankle injury. Tony Banks will start against a Panthers defense that has 17 sacks, including eight from DL Mike Rucker.

·By the numbers: Panthers are the first team with three overtime road wins in one season.

·Fantasy view: Texans RB Domanick Davis leads NFL rookies with 409 yards rushing, and WR Andre Johnson, the No. 3 overall pick in draft, leads AFC rookies with 35 catches.

·The line: Panthers by 6 1/2; O/U: 37.

I like the Under 37. GL to you

General,

This game is the lock of the century. No way the "Houston Oilers" have a prayer in this one!

If Glenn plays, theyve got a chance, he would take care of Lewis. With the Panthers injuries on Defense, The Texans would have been a good match for them. I say would have, if they had Carr. Alas nobody can bet them with Banks.

They were saying that DE walker is not going to play and that Glenn will.

FYI:
Jarrod Baxter (FB - Left foot injury, injured reserve)
Jason Bell (CB - Knee injury, probable for Week 9 vs. Car)
David Carr (QB - Ankle injury, doubtful for Week 9 vs. Car)
Charlie Clemons (LB - Ankle injury, questionable for Week 9 vs. Car)
Pat Dennis (CB - Knee injury, injured reserve)
Aaron Glenn (CB - Groin, probable for Week 9 vs. Car)
Jimmy Herndon (OT - Knee injury, injured reserve)
Bennie Joppru (TE - Groin, injured reserve)
Rashod Kent (TE - Calf injury, doubtful for Week 9 vs. Car)
Chris Lorenti (C - injured reserve)
Ben Lynch (C - injured reserve)
Seth Payne (NT - Torn left ACL, injured reserve)
Gary Walker (DE / DT - Toe injury, doubtful for Week 9 vs. Car)

Maxdemo,
I get the impression you fancy The Texans but are too frightened to say so. I feel the same way.

If it wasnt for Banks I would be drilling this, Still havent made my mind up.

I am trying to decide or evaluate Banks worth, long bomb(suits this team) or INT run back for TDs. Also CB Jason Bell is out.

Still thinking

Winbet;
I layed off this game since I have learned not play with my heart, but was impressed with Banks at the helm and the change in the play calling in the 2nd half.
Hope you won.....

Luckily yes, what swung it was I backed The Texans @ 24pts 25pts for a win 1pt per point. On that bet it didnt matter about not getting the spread. Better luck next time
