NFL: Week 6

Houston -4 Kansas City - The Texans have lost two straight home games but, while the Chiefs are decidedly improved, they aren't quite to the level that you expect them to hang around with good teams on the road. The favorite has covered 3 straight in this series.

Texans/Chiefs UNDER 45 - The Chiefs have a good defense and a bad offense, except they can run the ball a bit. The Texans are 5th in the NFL against the run, probably putting Kansas City's ability to score on the incapable shoulder of Matt Cassel.

San Francisco -6 1/2 Oakland - Raiders coming off a big win and the 49ers in an absolute, must win or the season's over spot. San Fran is a little tougher than their record indicates, they could be a 3 win team just by getting a couple bounces. They'll play well today and get off the donut in the win column. The 49ers, though all of this losing, are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 home games.

Leans:

Denver +3 1/2

New England -2 1/2

Detroit +10
