Vince Young and the boys from Nashville sure had a great 2006 for all you sports betting fans out there. They went 11-5 Against the Spread (ATS), tied with the N.Y. Jets for the best ATS record in the NFL last year. Young came on like gangbusters in a couple of games, most notably the game in Houston where all the hometown fans were wishing they had picked the former Texas star.
We all know about Pacman Jones’ stupidity. I know 5-year olds that pick up right and wrong faster than this thug. This guy wants to be 50 Cent and Scarface so bad you wonder how in the hell did he ever developed the football tools he has. Make no mistake about it Pacman can play football and that’s what gets lost in this whole deal.
Personally, I think he’s just a spoiled idiot who deserved everything he received this past year. I still think he should be punished for the nightclub shooting which left an honest man who was trying to put his wife through law school paralyzed from the waist down. All that being said, from a football standpoint the Titans are going to miss his playmaking abilities tremendously.
The Titans also got rid of (RB) Travis Henry, who went off to the Broncos. He was their MVP and a very good runner. I’m just not sure if cheeseburger loving Lendale White is ready to carry the load for this team. Eric Moulds joins the Titans as their #1 receiver but after that it gets pretty dicey as to who is going to make big plays for the Titans.
The Defense added (CB) Nick Harper from the Colts and drafted Michael Griffin out of Texas to help bolster their defensive backfield, but I gotta tell you they were dead last in D last year and I don’t see them improving that by more than a few notches this season.
However, I see the Titans being a friend to the smart sports betting aficionado due to the fact that they’ll be receiving a good amount of points against certain teams. One thing about Vince Young and Jeff Fisher is that they are winners and play well in the underdog role. This organization is rebuilding and should be there in a couple more years but other than picking up some upsets here and there, I don’t see the Titans going above .500 in 2007.
I do see value in them though as a team to look for when they are getting 5 or more points playing against teams similar in talent. They play tough through all 60 four quarters and that is what you want in an underdog.
