Soooo, HOU is up 21-0 at the half, SF then benches their QB, and HOU proceeds to let Davis catch not one, not two, but 3 TD's. Meanwhile, HOU kicks a 50 yd FG for their only score in the 2nd half. Riiiight.
Wormy POW now stands at an incredible 3-3-1. Plays are 25-18-1 overall. Teasers are 7-1.
Gotta go against the Niners one more time. They had their bye wk to prep for HOU, and Alex Smith at least got something out of it. But, they still managed only 59 yds rushing, and less than 300 yds overall, against an improving, but still mediocre "D". Enter IND (-13). Their "D" has given up only 4 rushing TD's, and 2 passing (with 6 INT's & 16 sacks), mostly w/out Bob Sanders. He, Wayne, and Freeney are all expected to start for a high-flying IND team, led by THE best QB in the league. 13 seems high, but only JAX in their season opener, and their slugfest w/MIA after that, would not have covered that spread (24 ppg margin since then). And despite being up 28-6 in the 4th vs STL, Peyton was still in, and led the "O" down the field for yet another TD. Gotta like that when you got a big spread to cover. SF's WR's are better (slightly) then STL, but other than that, STL's "O" is similar or better than SF's. So the pressure IND's front 4 got on Bulger should be conquerable to that of what Smith will be experiencing. Because, RT Pashos is out, so the merry-go-round on the right side of SF's line continues. Robert Mathis with 5 sacks & 3 FF's on the right side should give SF's protection fits all gm. Any double teams there will be foolish, with Freeney & his 7 sacks coming from the left. So unless Shaun Hill comes off the bench to lead 3 TD's in the 2nd half, I'd say IND has this gm in hand.

Wish me luck, as I wish you luck! BOL!!!
Oh yeah, comments are most welcome.
