Three Ways C.J. Stroud Will Light Up the Cowboys’ Defense

Three Ways C.J. Stroud Will Light Up the Cowboys’ Defense

C.J. Stroud has been dormant too long…tonight, he makes his return.

Ten weeks into the 2024 NFL season, and the Houston Texans are war-torn, yet in control of their destiny in the AFC. Losses like those against the New York Jets and Detroit Lions will put a plucky young team like the Texans in the doldrums, but next up is one of their most anticipated games of the entire season: playing the Dallas Cowboys, in Dallas. Now their third prime time game in a row and coming hot off the announcement that Beyoncé will be performing in the Christmas Day...

Week 11 Monday Night Football: Cowboys vs. Texans

Everything is bigger in Texas!

And we close off Week 11 of NFL football with a Dallas’ football game, as the Cowboys (+ 285) host the Texans (- 350).

The Texans open up as 7.5-point favourites, with the OU for the game at 41.5 points.


The Cowboys were absolutely demolished by the Eagles last week, as their playoff hopes are slowly starting to crumble away. Cooper Rush could not get...

Grading Steichen: Week 11 @Jets

Sometimes all it takes is a second chance

Offense

After two games on the Joe Flacco experiment, the coaching staff (and with the information we have at our disposal we can only assume the decision to bench AR was entirely on the coaching staff in the first place) reversed the decision and went back to the young quarterback. The offense had their best game, with Richardson leading the charge as the running game got stifled probably due to the fact that the offensive line was missing 3 of their starters. AR5 finished with over 300 total yards, and three...

2025 NFL Draft order: Titans currently hold second pick

2025 NFL Draft order: Titans currently hold second pick

The 2025 NFL Draft currently has two AFC South teams picking at the top

It seems that most of the fanbase cares more about where the Tennessee Titans will pick in the 2025 NFL Draft than what happens on the field for the rest of the season. It is hard to blame anyone for feeling that way. Will Levis and the offense have looked better the last two weeks, but they still cannot get out of the teens as far as points scored. They just aren’t fun to watch.

Where would the Titans pick in the draft if the...

Texans vs Cowboys: Monday Night Football picks and open thread

Jaguars fans, who are you picking in tonight’s game between the Texans and Cowboys?

Monday Night Football kicks off tonight at 8:15 p.m. EST as the Dallas Cowboys host the Houston Texans in a battle over the Lone Star State at AT&T Stadium.

The Texans are 7-point favorites, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, and the total is 41.5 points.

I absolutely love Houston tonight. DeMeco Ryans’ squad was expected to be Super Bowl contenders as soon as this season, but it’s been a slow start with the Texans sitting at “only” 6-4. It’s felt like an underwhelming year largely because Houston...

Titans vs. Texans opening odds

Interesting that this number is 3 point higher than the Vikings line last week.

Last week the Tennessee Titans opened as a 5.5-point home underdog against the Minnesota Vikings. That number felt too low. I’m not sure what it closed at, but my feeling that the Vikings were a good bet at that number turned out to be correct.

This week the Titans open as an 8.5-point road underdog against the Houston Texans at FanDuel Sportsbook. If you consider the three points books tend to give the home team, it means they are saying that the Texans and the Vikings...

Titans OT JC Latham showcases leadership traits by refusing to blame referees

Tennessee Titans rookie OT JC Latham took a different approach to the controversial reffing calls made in Sunday’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings

The Tennessee Titans suffered a difficult and controversial defeat to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. A game that showcased growth from starting quarterback Will Levis was unfortunately overshadowed by a poor, one-sided performance by the referee crew. The Titans were whistled for 13 penalties in total, three of which directly led to 21 Vikings points.

Most notably of all, Titans reserve safety Mike Brown was penalized for a phantom “roughing” call on a 4th-and-1 pass into the...

Nico Collins returns to face the Dallas Cowboys

Nico Collins returns to face the Dallas Cowboys

Houston Texans star wideout is back baby!

When the Houston Texans selected Nico Collins in the 3rd round of the 2021 NFL Draft, it was hard to find anyone who thought the heir apparent to Andre Johnson and DeAndre Hopkins had arrived. And, former head coach David Culley didn’t do much with Collins in year 1 to dispel that notion.

Then 2 key things happened: Cal McNair hired Demeco Ryans as the new head coach and then general manager Nick Caserio drafted C.J. Stroud.

Cue the applause for Nic Collins highlights.

In his rookie season, Collins managed to gain 446...
