NFL: Texans in Must Win Game against Undefeated Colts
Game-day: 11/29/2009
Kick-off: 1:00 pm EST
The Houston Texans blew their Monday game against the Tennessee Titans, losing 20 to 17 as 6 ½ point favorites in the NFL sportsbook, and now face a must win game this Sunday. Houston is 5 and 5 straight-up and considering how many playoff contenders there are in the AFC, Miami and Baltimore are both 5 and 5, Pittsburgh and Denver are 6 and 4, any loss, or win, from here on out is going to vault you into playoff contention.

Baltimore Ravens +2
0/U 44

Herds of unicorns will be be photographed roaming the desert outside Phoenix before the Cardinals turn into a run-oriented team. Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin (as long as he sticks around), Kurt Warner and last year’s march to the Super Bowl pretty much guarantee that for the time being, and beyond, the Cardinals will live and die with the forward pass.
