NFL pick today: Tennessee Titans vs Houston Texans – Over 39 points (-115), 1:00 pm ET
Plain and simple, we expect points in this game. Derrick Henry will not be stopped by a run defense that allows the most rushing yards per game this season, and while Tennessee's run defense should limit Dameon Pierce, the Houston passing attack should be able to find enough holes in the Titans secondary to counter. The Titans are allowing the second-most passing yards per game, they don't generate a particularly strong pass-rush, and they've given up 13 touchdowns through the air this season. Both teams are flawed and that should lead to a fair number of points this afternoon.

NFL pick today: Miami Dolphins vs Detroit Lions – Under 52 points (-110), 1:00 pm ET
When the Lions are involved in the largest total of the entire week, you have to like the under's chances. After all, these are not the Lions of old – not even the Lions of the first few weeks of this season. Their 2 most recent point outputs are 0 (against New England) and 6 (against Dallas). Given all the injuries they are dealing with, especially to pass-catchers and offensive linemen, things may not get any better in the immediate future.
